Personally, I cannot stand the default theme in XP. It's too Fisher Price. The only theme that annoys me more is Keramik. The grey/silver one is decent, though. I always used classic until I found out about the Royale theme (it's from Media Center Edition). That is actually really nice. Now the first thing I do when reinstalling XP is to install that theme.
Well, WebDAV would be an excellent alternative to SMB/SMB2, but 2000 is the only version of Windows that properly supports it. WinXP breaks it badly unless you disable any authentication, which isn't acceptable.
Nothing against MythDora, but after getting burned by Fedora far too many times I don't want to go near anything Fedora-based. Basing off of Ubuntu would rock.
Incidentally, I saw a lecture on the topic quite recently, and learned that Muslims do believe in Jesus Christ. He is a highly regarded prophet, second only to Mohammed, and he plays a key role in the end-of-times scenario of Islam. Muslims don't believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. They view him as a prophet. Big difference.
It would still be better than being similar to MS Office but not quite right. OpenOffice really needs to stop trying to be a clone and have a good, different, responsive interface.
Calc is an almost worthless PoS. You should give Gnumeric a try. It works very well and is significantly faster. Plus it actually integrates with the desktop (being a Gnome app) and it can also run on Windows.
Why does it matter if you're running a proprietary OS in a proprietary VM? If you're concerned about only using free software, why bother with the proprietary OS? If you're wanting to virtualize Free operating systems, use Xen. It rocks.
On the floating box click the bottom down arrow until it goes to "0 hidden". After than anything below your threshold will require a click to expand. It's really nice once you get over it being different. I no longer have to have a dozen tabs per article. Just one tab per article now.
It should not take that long for your desktop to work. Download the Startup Control Panel applet and disable everything that's attempting to boot. This tool is really nice as it has a tab for every way for a program to autostart itself.
I use then when writing auto-install scripts. For each app that tries to autostart (which is absolutley unnacceptable for any application to do) I find out how that particular one does it and disable it after the install/upgrade.

With the new system, just click on any subject and the comment expands out. Regardless of the rating. It's a massive improvement over the old way. My only complaint is that anoying floating thing on the left*.
* This has actually become more anoying in the last week. Before I could click the "X" and it would go away. Now after clicking the "X" (in Camino and Firefox 2 (OS X and Linux)) it takes up the top half of the window and I have to click the "X" again to finally get rid of it. I have this happen on three different machines, so it's not my computer.
A big part of using a Mac is the excellent experience. X11 apps look and feel out of place and feel slow and lack integration with the desktop. This seriously affects the experience.

I prefer the way my PowerBook works. I close the lid and it goes to sleep. Open the lid and it comes back up and works perfectly every single time. I haven't turned the thing off since I bought it last year.
I agree we need to protect artists rights (I'm a musician, and am currently recording a cd). However, the current copyright is simply ridiculous. Life plus 75 years (US)? 95 for corporate works (US)? That's out of line.
What I'd like to see is: 25 years. One renewal for an additional 20. That gives 45 years total. If you haven't made enough off of something in in 45 years, tough shit. Do something new.

So, how successful are you from getting money for downtime from Microsoft when a computer gets a virus? Or breaks due to an update?
Loudly drop support for MySQL. Here are two excellent alternatives:
PostgreSQL
Firebird
Still, Debian provides good MySQL packages. Use them instead. If you need support, I'm sure you could find someone to provide it for you.

Then you want Wine or Cedega. VMs don't do accelerated video.

Here is another script for slipstreaming updates into an ISO:

I use it for my unattended share. Works great.

What else will run the software and hardware the business needs?
There is RIAA Radar. I use this when wanting to purchase a CD. If it's RIAA I download or buy used. If it's not RIAA I buy it new.
