Knowing them, they're paying someone for support. Everything they use has a support contract in my experience (which has recently ended, I'm no a federal contractor).
The IPhone 5s has 1 GB RAM. That is less than 4 GB. Inescapable conclusion is that the state reason is pure spin. Let's be honest, Tim Cook couldn't think of any actual innovation to build into the phone so doubling the processor width and increasing the battery size is as far as his paper pusher imagination could take him. Face it, Tim Cook is an operations guy, not a visionary.
What Apple absolutely needed to do this time was:
1) Not a product refresh! A new model please. 2) Bigger screen... duh. 3) Banish the dot-for-dot resolution albatross that ties ios products to multiples of 640 horizontal resolution
For extra credit:
4) Removable battery 5) Expandable flash slot
Apple's final score: zero for five. Better luck next time.
Remarks: 2 - Please don't. I hated how large my Droid X was, and still don't like the larger sized phones. I like my phone to fit in my pocket. 3 - How is this a problem? 4 - Not relevant to most people 5 - That would be nice.
I think you need to check your data again. Others say Windows runs fine under KVM (I don't have much experience there), and I can attest to quite a number of Windows server (2003 - 2012) installs under Xen without so much as a hicup.
1 & 2 I have not experienced (running KDE 4.10 on Fedora 18 right now at work with dual monitors, and change the arrangement every now and then) 3 - Firefox is built against GTK, not QT. Check your GTK settings.
Wait, they finally updated? I'm going to install that on my work machine (Fedora 18) on Friday (out-of-office tomorrow). KDE 3.x is still my favorite DE.
Which is something Red Hat has a solution coming out for - I don't remember what it's called (not awake yet), but they're including optional repo for newer packages with RHEL 7.
Well, I have a speech impediment, while not to the degree that it was when I was younger, I have a stuttering problem, especially when nervous, upset or angry. That would be horrible for dictation (now if only I was a good speller I might be ok).
Same can be said about Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora (especially Gentoo and Debian, seeing that we have FreeBSD (and Hurd on Debian) based releases (and some ports of Debian to Illumos)).
Libre Office does not have the features I mentioned. I wanted to make something look nice on my resume. The tools to do so were not there are very primitive compared to MS Word. Just a fact. With the ribbon you can preview changes and have 20+ titles with different effects, styles, fonts, and lines for my name.
Libre Office is about where Word 4.2 and Word 5.0 are for Windows 3.1.
Sure I can do basic documents with it but everyone else in the business word is making artful documents and changes and I can't have my documents look like crap on their computers because of different implementations of ooxml.
Really? Our clients don't want artful, fancy documents. They have very strict style guidelines that must be met. And OOXML causes me more headaches then you can imagine (I sent my client this file, and they couldn't open it. Or vice versa, because our clients aren't all on the same version of office (even within the same client). If you need something to look the same, you need to use Desktop publishing software, or send a PDF.

Government for one. The US Department of Energy still uses MySQL, and I doubt they'll move off it anytime soon.
Hey, it's not bonfire night yet! (American, and knew that poem without looking it up first)

So they'll just use MIPS instead? Or older ARM chips?
Sun's compilers are still available (last I checked) for Solaris on SPARC, Solaris on Intel, and Linux on Intel.
Low end PC's at the time shipped with 512MB, not 2GB. If they shipped with 2GB Vista might have faired better.

Because a lot of us on Macs are stuck on 10.6 and lots of OS X applications are targeting that group?
They'll probably just push Red Flag Linux to everyone.
Meh. I use prefer NoScript anyway. They haven't removed anything that I can't/don't control with add-ons, so....
And most users didn't know about using the options anyway.

Actually I'd be very much in favor of the date/time support - I think Safari does it, but most browsers (esp. mobile) do not.
Block it in DNS too to be sure.
Not to mention are increasing rapidly in capacity.

Sure it's a Linux OS - just not GNU/Linux.
Windows NT 6.0 -> NT 6.1 -> NT 6.2 -> NT 6.3 isn't a major version number, any more then OS X 10.0 -> 10.1 -> 10.2....-> 10.9 is.
Einstien@Home reports the same thing on my old Droid.
Sure they do, and they charge you more for it. Don't believe me? Check your version numbers - NT 5.x, NT 6.x.....
