Wow, you must have a problem with race here. But let's focus on the arguments.

You're doing it again, it's you who seems to have a problem imagining the 'poor' part of the world being able to manage their own technology. Your's is the same kind of argument put forward by the British when they were forced to hand over control of the Suez canal. You see the locals wouldn't be able to run it without the advanced west. That you pretend to not understand what I meant and accuse me of racism just shows you and your whole specious argument up for what it really is.
Key FUD terms:

"I know I am sceptical as to the real benefits of the One Laptop Per Child project as to it's contribution to fighting poverty in the world"
OLPC was never meant to fight poverty in the world, what is does do is provide low cost technology to people who could otherwize never afford it.
"Does it make sense and will it make life easier on the kids that have to work with it"
That remark smacks of white mans burden. Since when will working a computer make life difficult for these kids. If they are like kids elsewhere, they will end up teaching the adults how to use it.
"Then you realize there are actually only five applciations available"
What's stopping the 'natives' extending the system. After all they are not constrained by some licensing restriction.
was A noble idea, but lacking in proper execution (Score:1 OLPC FUD)
"Yes, that would probably get the ISPs attention. As for the monitoring agency - that would be a full-time job requiring endless resources and storage databases, possibly equivalent to the CIA"
Not requiring endless resources, something like Spamhaus running in a number of centers. It would have real powers to deal with the worst offenders. Don't you think we need one by now. For me e-mail is becoming almost unusable, I have to selectively browse the subject line in each msg to make sure I don't miss anything important. Else if I block delete I risk deleting something important or else it ends up in the spam folder. I don't have the time or the inclination for this.
one of the simplest solutions is to block outgoing on port 25.
"Blocking outgoing on port 25 is fine for the average home user (zombie bot central), but for us others it would cause unacceptable problems"
Yes, the average desktop don't require sending on port 25. For the rest you contact your provider and get it enabled. I assume you know how to protect your own servers.
It's situations like this that should make small countries upgrade to IPv6. What surprises me is that they haven't already.
It's a matter of more cables. The recent outages in Asia were exasperated by the lack of redundant routes. You see to save money they only installed the minimum necessary cables as they 'weren't in an earthquake zone'.
"one step closer to having "Big Brother" control our lives"
It isn't as if Big Brother isn't already reading out e-mails is it.
"I don't want my bandwidth throttled for packet inspection due to legalities caused by some other idiot surfing a pron site and blaming his ISP for the resulting problems"
Don't need to inspect your packets. Set up an organization that monitors the sources of spam and then informs the ISP. If the ISP takes no action then they can be fined or disconnected until they do take action. That would enthuse them greatly to take action against spam. Also one of the simplest solutions is to block outgoing on port 25.
"that OS you are talking about (that don't get viruses from clicking a URL...) is called Unix"
Yes I know that, but not a lot of other people do.
"Educating these users of what their Windows boxes may be barfing out 24/7 is they key to correcting the problem"
No, the key is to make the ISPs legally liable for preventing the viruses getting on/off your desktop and making an OS that don't get viruses from clicking on a URL or opening an attachment.
You will be pleased to know that Redhat now comes with a graphical installer.
"Actually I'm inclined to use the non graphical one. I was primarily talking about installing new software, and managing the o.s. after it's been installed"
You just said it took three hours to figure out RPM. Installing new software is done also from the graphical installer as is managing the OS, as is configuring the desktop, all done by clicking boxes, just like Windows. You can even install your RPMs from the GUI as well.
'Firefox, for instance, still didnt work. Due to? Old kernel perhaps. That left me asking "how am I expected to upgrade this kernel?" and "is that potential headache of upgrading a kernel worth upgrading to firefox?"'
By what order of logic do you need to 'upgrade the kernel' to run firefox. Download and extract into/opt/firefox, then create a shortcut on the desktop. All of which can be done from KDE the file manager. But I thought you gave up on Red Hat five years ago. What version are you referring to.
"Well, running a web server is actually very easy. Just run the thing. (after installing it:-) The fact is, I run a windows server (http/smtp/customjava/mysql) as we speak. I wanted to run all that on a linux server, but the time investment and learning curve (with no in-house linux guru's) made it not worth my time"
What need you of a 'guru', have you never heard of support contracts or the help forums or emailing the developers directly. And you will get an answer something I can attest to personally.
Again I can't undestand the difficulty, As a test I installed an apache web server locally (192.168.2.253). Install as the default configuration and copy the web files to/srv/www/htdocs, give world access and it runs. I don't understand how you can configure mysql to run on Windows but not on Linux. What version OS and version of MYSQL are you running.
"learning the ins and outs of linux software management and kernel upgrades / patches didn't seem worth it."
I have never had to upgrade/patch the kernel in years of using Linux.What have you been doing this past twenty six years. And running a web server from your bedroom isn't considered wise as what happens when your mom comes in to vacuum the floor and unplugs the server.

"I think the big thing to happen to security in 2007 is Windows Vista"
It's a tribute to the MS marketing department that the emergence of Vista is seen as a big security event. All the security features in Vista have already been inplimented in the other Operating Systems. The signed drivers feeture has already been hacked.
User Account Control: aka as SuDO under nix.
Protected mode Internet Explorer: on nix the browser runs as standard user and can only access the users home directory.
Windows Defender, spyware and virus detection: not needed under Linux as enumerating badness is not a good idea.
Windows Service Hardening, monitor unusual activity to the file system, registry and network: An intrusion detection system running as root.
Network Access Protection, designed to protect your network from 'unhealthy' machines: Enumerating badness, not a good idea says Marcus J. Ranum.
"Other operating systems will copy the good ideas and avoid the bad ones"
What 'good ideas' has Vista that didn't exist previously in some form in other Operating Systems. Give specifics please.
"More development will be shifted from unsafe languages like C and C++ to Java, the.NET languages"
The languages aren't 'unsafe' it's the underlying memory management unit running on Intel processors that's unsafe.
"With increasing adoption of Unix-like OSes, perhaps we will see some exploits for these run wild, too"
Given the number of non-Windows servers out there why aren't we seeing the equivalent number of breeches. Where are all the Mac viruses. Where are all the cross platform viruses.
Please correct me if I got my facts wrong.
Speculation about what might happen in the future does't count as facts.
"Does that mean installing/uninstalling software under linux is now standardized, logical and quick, even for people who never used it before? Have you ever watched a new linux user try to install all their software onto a linux box without any help? Linux will not get any mainstream adoption until THAT need is addressed, and that's a promise"
Have you ever watched a new user installing Windows from scratch. If installing Windows is such a breeze then why are call centers such a growth industry. Since most of the standard apps come preistalled I doubt the new user would even have to install. For instance Linspire comes out of the box with Internet Suite, Email, Internet, instant messaging, Office Suite, Instant Messaging, Digital Music, Digital Photos, Wireless Capability, Plug and Play, Web Publishing. If that's not enough then there is an online update service. Just click and install. Off the top of my head SuSE, Mandrake, Debian all come with graphical installers. As do most of the rest I assume.
"but those are the reasons I put Mandrake 6.x, RH 7.0,7.1 and 7.2, suse x.x into a box and put the box under my bed and hardly bothered with them for the last 5 years"
Are you one of these Linux geeks who still live with their parents?
"I use the operating system to get things done, and I don't want to wrestle with it, I want it to do things intuitively"
You will be pleased to know that Redhat now comes with a graphical installer. As for getting things done, I put people down in front of a SuSE KDE/desktop and do know what, they can't tell the difference.
"unless getting RPM's to go to the right place and install the right way has gotten any simpler.. Calling rpm with half a dosen switches (after reading a manual for 3 hours)"
