Yet I know why this was passed, it wasn't passed to protect the rights of artists..no,no..it was passed so that the RIAA and friends would generate more money. I mean seriously 70 years after they die?! If someone is young and you're old, well, you ain't gonna have that peice of work.
Woo! Distros have been doing this for years!
Where was it in Gentoo, I couldn't seem to find it?:)
IMHO I think that a non-GUI setup is the best you can have because you have complete control over the installation.
Microsoft uses the power of an overwhelming amount of lawyers to get what they want. Whether it's legal or not the M$ lawyers almost always win a case by manipulating the law system. I just don't get how the lawyers manipulate the judges though.
Will this contain support for Atmel and Prism built in or will we have to go and get Prism Drivers or Atmel Drivers?
The only problem without having built-in support is that for the Atmel you have to patch the kernel(only 2.6 and greater) and recompile it(takes awhile on a 1.7Ghz). It would be major convience for built-in support for these commonly used chipsets.
I hope that this new distribution includes full WiFi support.
This reminds when scientists in Nebraska were searching for remnants of ancient humans. What they found was a single tooth and they claimed it was the missing link for evolution. Later it was discovered that the tooth belonged to a dead hog.
I think this one of those things where not much proof is taken in before they call it a "missing link".
Just my $0.02
The user audience(home, office, large corp) actually determines the price so that it will be affordable for the specific group. Since the target audience can afford it, the company will make money from the software product.

Regardless of what the article may say about its speed, it is actually slower than everything because it will often make your computer do the "Matrix Effect".(You know when the people go real slow to avoid bullets)
Yay!!! They're gonna keep Active X! Now I can still get that purple monkey unintentionally, spyware(boy isn't that stuff cool?!), my computer will run slower(yes! thank you! I always wanted a Pentium I!),and integration!(now I dont have to use it to get the stuff mention above! ^_^)
See isn't that what we customers wanted?
You are all deeply mistaken, Tahoma sucks! You see it every where in Windows. It is the font used on the BSOD! What sucks more Bill Gate's favorite Tahoma or Verdana?
This Just In!
Micro$oft purchases a national t-shirt firm for Windows attire.
Micro$oft purchases new components which they had no part in making for Windows. Customers commit suicide due to the unimaginable amount of bugs.
Micro$oft purchases Champion Steel Locks Corp., unfortunately, burglaries rise to new levels when these exclusive Micro$oft brand locks can be picked with a toothpick.
Maybe the article is comparing what happened in 2003 to today. Since in 2003 when a release date was spoke of it was delayed. Now, they set it for June. So basically, the article(on Slashdot)is trying to make a point. "It's been delayed before and it's most likely going to happen again."

Where can I get it, huh?
I didn't RTFA.

Two words to describe this: Illogical and stupid.
What are they gonna do with Google, search for locations to fight at? :)

It's true Microsoft is praying that the EU legalizes patents. They just want to increase the already freakishly huge monoply.

Noooooooooooo! ET was killed in mass extinction. Now the ugly finger glowing midget is out of show-biz. *cries*
So is this like those Moon Walk things you see at birthday parties and fairs?
