That's not really true, imho. There are a lot of people out there today who value and look out for high quality.
But the problem today is, that if you go for the higher priced product today you never know if the product you're getting is really of higher quality.
Very often, it's just a rip-off and you get the same crap every other has plus paying something premium for the brand or something, e.g. a friend of mine owns this highly expensive denon dvd-player (cost him > $1000) which is unable to play DVD-R/+R or play mp3s...
As a consumer you just think: This is crap anyway, so I'll go for the cheapest crap...
A british guy entering Australia:
Customs: May I see your passport please?
Customts: Do you have a crime record?
Passenger: I didn't know one was still required?
Is this supposed to be funny or did the Slashdot staff really fall for this April's 1st joke???
If it's supposed to be funny, I can assure you, it's not. Not after the last day...
In the second case it only seems to prove what we always thought:-)
I always thought that having the choice is one of the big advantages of open-source: Competition creates better software!
Now they want to create one package-format for all distris?
Time to make a fork!;-)
Seriously, i hope that developers start to pick it up asap...
Please - there are some very dark and cruel parts of German history and it's embarassing for us to talk about that. We still fell... kinda guilty... So please don't mention... this thing you know...

Why I Love The GPL
·
· Score: 1
but then it came to my mind:
O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of my nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. I had won the victory over myself. I loved the GPL.
1984. The Version from... well 1984 by Michael Radford.
If you read the book, you experience exactly the same atomsphere as in the book. Plus the acting is superb, especially John Hurt and Richard Burton.
So my point is: It IS in fact possible to do a good conversion!
Why don't people just run Windows in usermode and not as an Administrator? I mean, it's not that difficult, just check http://blogs.msdn.com/Aaron_Margosis/ and you'll see.
No one uses Linux as root all the time. Just run Windows as a user and suddenly all of the spyware, trojan and virus problems are gone. Or at least 99% of them. No need for an antispam software...

They describe the graphic features as follows:
----
For Longhorn, graphics requirements for desktop experiences are defined in relation to differentiated experiences:
Aero Glass experience: Delivers the full-fidelity Longhorn user experience on the desktop, including support for 3D graphics and animation.
Aero experience: Delivers the minimum hardware acceleration and desktop composition for the Longhorn user experience.
Classic experience: Equivalent to Windows 2000 capabilities, using software rendering.

so I think it will be no problem just to switch off those nice graphic effects if you don't have such a powerfull graphic hardware. I really don't like Microsoft at all but I have read a lot of those "Longhorn will need a something like a cray" articles and all those articles were written by authors who seemed to not really well informed about technical details...

As it was a study by AOL UK I bet they asked among AOL customers ;-)

Please, I beg you. It's not a single bit funny anymore. Plus over here in Europe it's already April, 2nd.
