I was even thinking about starting a site called "OpenWindows.org, opening windows because microsoft isn't going to". Or something like that. It would contain choice, like:
- Ext2 driver
- Gaim
- Opendocument plugin
- Pdf writer
- FreePop for hotmail or hotmail forward application
- Firefox/Thunderbird
- etc.
Websites should account for pages which are send in twice, because when you refresh the page or go back and forward the page is also resend to the server.
You can do this in linux. Natively. Just make yourself a different user with no rights to do certain things. Try that in Windows and see if it works for you. As to the, "Microsoft will solve everything in the end" mentality, well, I can't really argue with that.
Under Windows you can let Hitman Pro do this for you. It will sandbox all your internet applications (including ff) by running those applications under a less privileged user.
A friend of mine got a serious response after he sent the automated crash report to Microsoft. He got some message that he should update some driver. That is pretty freaky. The reaction was instantaneous so it is a computer-program for sure:D
These flavors will probably be not so different, you should be able to add the Multimedia programs to the corporate versions or add the volume licensing program to the ultimate edition.
I would like to see a link on linux.com and linux.com where anyone could download a desktop linux operating system. Just like you can download firefox on mozilla.org.
We only need to create an executable for windows which automatically migrates you to linux.
1. You download and run a small installer
2. A hardware compability check is performed
3. You can choose some options (maybe even the entire distribution?)
4. The installer downloads the packages needed
5. The computer is rebooted
6. The disk/partition is chosen, a ntfs partition will be resized if necesary.
7. Linux is installed.
8. Settings/documents are imported
9. Done!
An other option is to create a package manager which can install gnu applications under windows (including kde/gnome/firefox/openoffice).

But how would you intergrate an application inside a virtual computer into your window-manager?
I personally use php to output xml and render this xml to xhtml with xslt, works pretty fly.
If something happened they just have to call for the Thunderbirds!
They made the video's iPod compatible!
You can write your own plugin, and someone already made an ext2 plugin :D (just google on ext2)
Then it will cost MS money!! The cheapest dell is 170 euro's, sans windows is 80 euro's minus the trialware would make it say... 50 euro's! :D

Now we just need to port it to Windows and let you install Linux without a boot-cd :D (grub for windows!)
Google probably made a better implementation of java and they will put it into the google-toolbar! That way if you search for a ms-word document on google you will get an url like this: http://www.google.com/java?applet=writer.jar&docum ent=http://research.microsoft.com/tmsn/Papers/came ra-ready-QA.doc
My girlfriend is a real enterprise and she runs (k)ubuntu linux.
Office 97 is the best version of office ever, simple and clean, office 2000/2003 has nothing i want.
You only need to provide the changes not the entire source-tree.
I just created a cluster of 20 colinux servers! It seems to work just like a zero-cpu implementation :P
"OpenSource.org also provided the full text of the Bill."
This is outrageous,

But can you compile a working version?
Well AOL music is pretty cool, I listen to it pretty often. See http://www.seweso.com/blog/Winamp%20Music%20Mooi.m 3u for some songs (you need a pretty up-to-date version of winamp).
But Bono is a christian... how could this be?
From the article: "Samba is now at the same level as Microsoft was ten years ago." :D
I think the visio-like editor yEd is a very good java-application, you should try it!
cd \do*\user*\my* alsways works on windows (2k+) ;)

Joy!
