I've always said marriage is where decisions become discussions. It is two different people trying to share the same life. It takes work. I think as long as both parties accept this, and mutually work at it, the marriage will go fine. I don't believe a book will help.
Will there be a Microsoft of Linux? That depends on your point of view. Is the "MoL" the company or the distributer of software? For the prior, I can not see any company behind any Linux distribution going out to crush any other distribution just because they can or to make billions more dollars. The "distributer of software" could be split up as the "distributer of operating systems" or the "distributer of general software." The latter, there will never be a MoL as that is against open source and all it stands for. For the prior, the closest there will be to a MoL is a dominant distribution. Red Hat was there a few years ago, with as I understood it approximately 80% of the installs Red Hat. I do not know where that stands now. And that is why there can not be a MoL any more then there will be a "Microsoft of Ice Cream": No one knows what flavor the public will be hungry for next.
If you are using VNC from another NT/2000/XP box, hold the shift key and then use the CTRL-ALT-DEL key sequence. This will bring up the "Windows Security" window you seek.
For Windoze I use TridiaVNC because by default it does not open the browser port, 58xx, and with a few registry edits, I can tighten it down so the tray icon can not be seen, Joe User can not make changes nor kill the service, and I can restrict the IPs that can connect.

I think the worst computer scene in the movies is "The 'Net" shortly after opening credits right until the closing credits.
Toyota lost money on every Prius for years. It is the price for new technology until economies of scale and public acceptance kick in.
Call the Professor. The metal could be Adamantium.
You think? How do you spell mutation?
Can you mount one on the back of a DeLorean?
Let us not forget the Tucker Torpedo was ahead of its time as well. We all know what happened to them.
I'm still waiting for the obligatory "Terminator" and "RoboCop" reference.
Phillip K. Dick will not be happy if we don't settle the moon.

The Russians did do this or will do this in 2010. It's called aero-braking. Just don't attempt any landings on Io.
I know who is going to carry who over the threshold on their wedding night.
I visited it but if I told you about it I would have to eliminate you.

This guy reminds me of a comment I heard a long time ago, "He has more money then brains." Ever hear of collecting art or cars?
