This "feature" will somehow be annoying as hell with constant prompts and popups of its own.

It would be impossible to track down the tens of thousands of developers who've contributed code to make up an entire project, let alone a distro, in order to get them to agree to this.
This one is obvious. I haven't bought an ATI card in years because their linux drivers suck. Whenever I bother to read about it, both Nvidia and ATI are on par as far as performance goes, and so why on earth would I buy a card from a company that gives me shitty drivers when I can buy from Nvidia, which treats linux users on the same level as Windows?
I don't know if there's an automated way, especially because you run into the problem of differences in rendering. But, if you are on Linux, just install CUPS-pdf or on Windows, use PDFCreator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/). Both are print drivers so you can use the HTML/CSS rendering engine of your choice (pick a browser), then print.
First of all I'd like to thank the evolution team for making evolution work with Exchange over OWA. It's certainly much better than using OWA through a non-IE browser, which looks like complete ass and is stripped of lots of features. It allows me to stick to my linux desktop full time and still access all the corporate stuff.
That said, Evolution is the most unstable bit of open-source software that I've ever had the displeasure of using. At least 3-4 times a day, I have to forcibly kill it, kill all of its PIDS, and then restart it. It just decides to lock up every once and a while, trying to sync with the OWA server. I've never used it for anything other than getting my exchange email, since I use gmail for my personal account. Outlook is bloated and slow as hell, but I'd still bet it's better than Evolution on Windows.
Obviously you have no clue how GPL'd software works. It's not like the Dev team is any different, or that they're going to trash their old code base to start with an incompatible fork. They'll just continue developing the same code, with a slight interruption while they come up with a name, switch servers, etc.
I looked up my town and saw that the maps are at least 4-5 years old, whereas Google's is about 1 year old. I can tell this because my town has been building the nation's longest cable stayed bridge, and MSFT doesn't even show the beginnings of the bridge 3 years ago, whereas Google Maps shows the bridge almost finished about 1 year ago (it just finished last week).
The inferface is clunky, the slider sucks, and it's slow (probably due to/.). But, it looks like the MSN engineers just copied Google, down to the tiling, the drag scrolling, and even the unavailable map thing if you zoom in to far. It even says Beta next to it.
I mean, if you're going to copy something, do a better job. It always takes MS until version 3 to do something right. Google better watch out...

You don't even have to pay Google to use Gmail on your own domain name. Check out Google Apps for your Domain. I wrote about it here: http://victortrac.com/migrating-to-Google-Apps

Isn't this what the Nokia 770 tablet is?

Maybe they should have left the dimples in and see if it would help reduce atmospheric friction. Dimples help golf balls go further, right? :)

It's like I read the table of contents.

Do they do anything productive for America? Maybe we should dismantle the organization and save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in tax money.

Thanks, I'll be sure to forward this info to NASA.
