heh. Let's take a shot in the dark here and guess that your a Microsoft-certified professional that got hit a bit close to home from this poll. Oh and people hate her because shes more about looks and sales then music.

Um...What about Bittorrent? Last time I checked it was the best way to download large files like Linux distros. Plus it makes it better to have more people downloading not worse, a big problem for huge servers with popular files. I can remember it taking FOREVER to get my first fresh Linux dostro downloaded

Yeah, but if Sun and everybody else just left this alone and it DID turn in to something we would all be stuck using MS for something else. So despite how worthless it seems I'm glad there opposing it. After all, better safe then sorry.
Or are they FINALY starting to see that all this copy protection is more trouble then it's worth and that copying of movies can't be stopped by a silly little encryption?
I think that ease of use is the single biggest problem with most, but not all open source software. I can recommend people use Firefox but I can't tell them to use Linux because I know that Joe Average will never be able to use it, as it is now. It's a better OS then any other OS out there but no one but geeks can get it up and running right. If we want to get bad software like windows out of use we need a version of Linux that, for normal basic usage, is as easy to use as windows. (PLEASE don't flame about better OS comment. I'm trying to make a point about ease of use)

That's because reading a whole book on line makes your eyes bleed. I would rather buy a book then try and read it on line any day.

So did they not get around to it until now or did they just not know it was there until someone used it? Because that makes a big difference...
