It seems like you answered your question:) If it is cheap and available for everyone, not just children in developing countries, then people won't care even as much as they do now.
I don't think Average Joe cares about that. He just can't play his DVD right now, and next time will buy a pirated copy. Or, if lucky, get it for free.
1. if i have a real (paying) customer who needs this, i will supply them (and only them) with a customised version. 2. or i fully document the feature.
Refund is good to have, but I wouldn't want to bother with it. If they can't sell me a machine without crap, i won't buy it. But I recommend it to people who got time and patience, the more the refund requests the more the hardware vendors think about their Vista offerings.
I will need the new machine to run Dragon Age:) But I strongly hope BioWare is not insane to have a DX10 only version. Heck, i even hope they'll make a Linux version.
And, if there is only a DX10 version, I'm not THAT craving for a game to buy Vista just to play it.
XP is not that much appealing, but for certain tasks there is no better available. And Vista is definitely worse. I'm happy with this decision, i planned to buy a new machine next year, but only if i could get it without Vista.

Well, i just guess he meant that :)
But Mozilla is still far from it.
Anyone can abandon a project, even a corporation.
I'm just curious how did they count my desktop linux :)
I'm sure a downloaded/compiled Linux wasn't counted anywhere.
While a pre-installed Windows which was quickly erased was counted.
As long as windows update works with IE6, i don't think i'll need IE7.

If these laptops are so cheap, and available to everyone, people won't mind buying them in massive amounts.
This will generate a huge heap of trash.
M$'s website point-blank refuses to work with any other browser.
He would just smirk and shrug.
LOL
My advice would be: don't steal
Any intelligent indexing already ignores the clutter. This was a completely redundant research.

According to the TFA dx9 is also capable of soft particles.
So the most noticeable difference seems intentional.
Hmm, the FBI paid them for having this backdoor?

How do you handle your mail?
Do you ever visit unknown sites with animations, pdf etc?

And i will laugh when the chinese police shots them on the spot.
What a punishment, he is using it anyway. And Vista will be phased out in 2-3 years anyway. Windows EXtreme coming soon.
I would give my language for Firefly.
But, i thought it was the american audience what killed it.
most talented technical marketing professional = highly paid fanboy (or girl)
How would you be marketing a stuff you are not a fan of?
And don't tell me Apple doesn't pay well its most talented technical professionals!

Well, if he doesn't want it, he could always scrap it.
Though, M$'s genuine disadvantage is quite silly.

I'm rather ignorant of this field, but MoneyDance seems to be what you look for.
