To have a market share you have to actually charge for the software.
This is why Linux has very very low market share compared to Microsoft.
That said, I was shocked to find out my brother, who manages high-speed cable service for Cox, actually uses IE as his browser, the only one in my very large family to do so.
Cause if they attack the tubes, those things will collapse under the pressure and that will increase global warming, as well as depressurize most skyscrapers worldwide.
And nobody likes to see a 300 story skyscraper collapse into a 12 story puddle of goo.
There's only one thing I fear more than Mount Rainier burning 250,000 to 500,000 people alive (with an equal number suffering from severe burns) and that's Yellowstone.
No matter what "killed" you, if you end up burning in a giant fireball, it's pretty pointless as to exactly how you died before that.
Remember, they had seconds to even attempt to leave, and even that would have killed them.
Let's move on and admit the current systems all have flaws and build something useful for the 21st Century, not keep in the pro-military mindset of the 20th Century that would have us building bases and wasting money instead of actually getting out of here.
1. Article funded by Microsoft claims it won't be.
2. UN announces worldwide laptop program will run on Linux not Windows 7.1.2
3. IE drops below 90 percent market share.
4. CIOs announce no plans to roll out Windows 7 due to budget cutbacks.
5. China, having held Olympics already, moves to more secure Linux.
6. Penguins, dislocated due to global warming, take up residence in people's homes in Florida.
7. Large spheres land worldwide, and disgorge robots which say "Exterminate Windows! Exterminate!" - Windows programmers die worldwide in fits of laughter, and must be removed as biological hazards.
8. Major magazine columnists write columns explaining why we all need to pay $500 for an OS for a $500 PC and nobody reads their columns.
9. President Obama's plans for Rebuilding America don't have a line item for Windows 7 rollouts anywhere, no matter how hard you look.
The reality is any planned rollouts of a Win7 system where the OS costs twice what WinVista (the dog) did, are mostly dead.
Widescale worldwide adoption of Linux is anticipated in most of the business magazines, you IT guys are just buying the MSFT spin and haven't been told by your CEO and CFO to cut costs yet.

Besides, if they're doubling the price again, who can afford $800 for an OS for a $500 laptop in the first place?
But if IE is free, than it's market share is 0.

Good thing the winds go east ...
My question would rightly be why they let Alice keep driving after her third DUI.
See, you look for something else, and I properly identify the root cause and root risk.
Um, large flying brick hits atmosphere ... and you think you won't die in a large flaming fireball splatted over the earth? ... wow ...
The cause is the breakup of the shuttle.
All other points cascade from that event.
And, given human reaction times, escape system constraints, and the relative velocities, air quantity, etc .... my point still stands.

and ...
Ah, the Blue LED blink of death ...
try reading the business pages sometimes.
perhaps I should have said commercial long-term systems.

But you will.
just do a numeric count - you have to realize a lot of the lifts from the EU, China, and Japan are mostly Canuck sats.
True, but he'd probably catch a virus from it ...
With Linux as an OS for your tree, you could make the LED status lights blink in time with a Christmas song you had stored on one of the drives ...
hard to keep the dialects straight
nice. are you in the Canadian Military? ...
thought so.
but how about a serious DDoS attack?
It would have to be bilingual or in one of the native languages of the territories.
And filled out in triplicate.
That's biochem warfare, not nuclear warfare. While part of the NBC protocol, it's not the same thing.
It's worse.
Back then 300 baud was fast and 120 baud was good for commercial use.
I remember when 1200 baud came out.
That's because another province has another name that also means the same thing.
And it borders Maine.
About half of the weapons systems we were concerned about are still in operational status.
The amusing thing is many of them rely on vacuum tubes and suchlike for their circuitry, although this makes them more resistant to EMP pulses.
We actually had the highest survival probabilities - both in BC and in Newfoundland.
BC due to mountains and shielding, plus fresh water locked in glaciers, and Newfoundland due to the ocean.
Yes. Ten.
Well, that would be kind of cool, but I don't think anyone would sign on to spend ten years before the mast on the Canadian National Railways.
