I honestly don't see why so many people are hailing Linspire as a revolutionairy OS. It looks like a crazy amalgation of apps from Windows and Mac OS X. None of the stuff they are including in this release is new, they are simply stealing the new ideas from Apple and MS (e.g. showing common tasks in explorer windows, LPhoto similarities with iPhoto). Oh well, I guess it is as Picasso put it:
Sure, sounds like a great strategy except then you start to wonder what happens at the end of the year when you actually have to fill out the financial statements. I've only worked in IT for a few years, but that was long enough to let me figure out that, for a business, traceability is everything. "Boss: Ted, what happened to that PC that I gave you $5000 to buy? Ted: Uhhh... The goats ate it?"
This is not necessarily true. There is a large portion of Mac users who are very technically oriented. (Take me for example; I'm one of them) But just because I'm an engineer doesn't mean that I'm required to be illiterate. In fact, I find that many of the engineers I work with are very skilled at expressing themselves in writing. (Probably because we spend half our time writing documentation for our stuff.) Just my two cents...

You can temporaily disable BitLocker and it won't make such checks - you also need to do this step if you update your BIOS or something similar.
I believe the saying is "what the 80x86 lacks in style is made up in quantity making it beautiful from the right perspective".

So, by "third-party software" is he referring to all plugins and prorgrams for IE? Or is he referring to just those programs not made by M$?
