Expect a bunch of swearing and cursing as you work through the internet looking for drivers for that one last elusive bit of hardware, or to get that damn network running.
Something to do with spending appropriations are not subject to voting referendums - the Arundel Mills casino is an example of this (the people voted to appose putting it there, judge ruled that the people have no authority to object).
Considering that XP is just barely three versions old, it's really not that generous. RHEL 3 and Solaris 9 are still supported as well, which have been around for about as long as XP.
They're repos were very unstable when I tried it (I had it running on Fedora 16). Running KDE 3.5 on a modern comp (FX-8120, SSD, etc) was quite wonderful. I should try to see if any of the kinks have been ironed out (and I might try to build compiz too. KDE 3.5 + Compiz was my Linux Desktop Nirvana).
You obviously don't deal with government. DOE's all XP (they're thinking about 7 still), and I've heard that DOD's finally stopped using NT4 (but they did have newer systems too). I got friends at NASA still running IRIX on SGI Octanes (a late 90's system, but blows away any PC from the time).
I can't speak for nvidia, but all of ATi's DX 9 cards are unsupported. I had a hell of a time getting an XPress 200M working in Windows 8 when I tested it out.
I tried opening some.doc and.docx files recently with it (version 3.6.2) - it was able to open them and show things mostly like they do in Office 2010. But it's that mostly bit which is the problem, and I don't care about whether it's Microsoft's problem or not, the fact remains that it's not a perfect replication.
The users I support report this problem within the Microsoft system: Going from 2010 to 2007 or to 2003. We've had the most issues with Powerpoint and Access though, with Access 2010 files not working on any older version at all (and 2007 does the same thing to 2003).
And dare I ask what is so important about the framebuffer console? I hate the high res text console (vga=791 was plenty fine), and not having KMS or whatever setting the console is fine with me.
I don't think incorrect is the right word. SBS will probably do you fine - until you need to upgrade. SBS is discontinued (and the replacement only allows 25 users). Or maybe you'll need to use some feature of AD that isn't allowed in SBS (such as two-way trust). Good luck then. (And your VPN isn't connected to AD at all.)
Yes. The Nehalem based Core i5 (some) and i7 processors were quad cores on 1 die - the i7 also including Hyper-Threading (some of the i5 line were DC chips with HT instead of QC).
I'm glad yours does, my Droid phone is miserable when it comes to graphics. Very slow, unresponsive, and freezes often. Never had that issue with any of my nVidia cards and Linux (Geforce 3 was the main one I did Linux gaming on (oh NWN), more recently 9800GT, GT460, and my other box a Quadro FX1800). ATi cards haven't done as nicely (especially integrated in laptops).
If you have a MacBook then you can run OS X 10.6. OS X 10.6 supports all Intel Apple Computers. And last I checked (on a MBP 1,1) Firefox still runs on 10.6.
Sounds like SPARC has really gone nuts on the threading and core count. 16 cores with 8 threads each (per proc) makes for 128 threads per proc, which far outshines Intel and AMD.

Funny, that's what I do with Windows...

And I fail at reading the original post. Sorry.
Never tried on W8, but surely you're aware of http://windows.kde.org/?
End of production, not end of life.

You really expect me to write coherently and correctly at 12:16 when I'm only half awake? I haven't been able to do that since college.

Is that because of how MSO handles docx or how OO handles docx? Remember, MSO doesn't use the same docx that MS submitted for standardization.
I was going to ask the same question - what can MS Office do that OO can not?
Are the school's MS based now? When I was in HS (graduated 2006 in Baltimore County) we were still mostly Macs (with some PCs poping up).

NetBSD (last I checked) doesn't run on an SGI Octane. I can run OpenBSD and (old) Linux on there.

Some free beer doesn't sound too bad.

Well, it is a killer file system....

Seeing what he thinks of C++ and C++ devs, he'd probably rip C# apart. And then say that without C# (or VB) you don't need VS.
Also, based on his G+ posts, he runs Apple hardware - he at least has a MacBook Air and a MacMini.
