Honestly, why is it that every time the commercial entity of Microsoft, which is not a non-profit organization, tries to prevent people from illegally using their work without compensation, they are evil? Don't you think a company has a right to make sure that people pay for their work? Microsoft has an army of programmers working for them to write software, and every time Microsoft tries to prevent people from stealing this work and making it useless, they are the bad guy. What kind of alternate universe do you guys live in?
The gentoo minimal installation CD is 50 or 60 megs, and includes no X server. The minimal CD is better suited to live-CD use than installing gentoo anyway.
In a lot of online-enabled games, like Starcraft, the license says that the company can revoke the online capabilities with a certain amount of notice (usually thirty days). Was one of these terms in Quicken's license? If it was, no reason to complain. If not, can people get a class-action suit together?
Don't even bohter replying to this guy. He's posted stuff like this before. First it was Linux, now even more hilariously it's FreeBSD. He's a troll, don't waste your time.
Did you hear about that whole 1x1 hitcounter gif on Apple's website entitled "apple_powerbook_g5" or something to that affect? That is basically the only evidence for the PowerBook G5, but it isn't very interesting.

So don't install some fly-by-night company's software.

I went into Fry's Electronics on Saturday, walked over to one of their Linspire computers, opened an Xterm, and was greeted by this:

Does that answer your question?
Somehow this reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever

The gentoo installation CD (minimal or full, but if you are using it as a liveCD minimal is best) is a perfectly good live CD, albeit without X.

Except now, the weird components are *free*.
It exists. Just because you can't see them at Best Buy yet doesn't mean they aren't out there.
This doesn't work, I tried it and GnuCash corrupted my data.
In response to your sig, I offer the line from one of my favorite bumper stickers ever:
"If we weren't supposed to eat animals, then why were they made out of meat?"
Try Wine or Crossover Office, as posters below have already suggested.

I didn't know there was anyone on /. who actually agreed with me on this. Welcome to my friends list.
Forget Longhorn, I'm anticipating Duke Nukem Forever!

Maybe they could use Opera's "We-have-ads-unless-you-pay" business model, that seems like it would work well.

No, they aren't.I mean come on! We already heard about these rumors a loooong time ago. It's not true. Stop posting about it.
Hi twitter
Biotech != Software
Bah with the research and the studies, I could have told you that in one second.

Look at Twitter's posting history, he loves to call people "troll". The truth is, he is one himself.
I have never used BSD, but from how people describe Ports it seems as though Gentoo's portage does basically the same things.
