Putting Win98 on anything in this day and age is one of the worst possible things you could do, and even Sony wouldn't be dumb enough to pull Win9x from the grave. It's DOS-based, insecure and unstable (whose reputation still hangs over Windows to this day) and a dead end as far as OSs are concerned. Win2k (or NT5 if you want to think of it like that) would be a much better choice, as I believe it fits their specs well enough (or is at least a good enough starting point)
Millions of Magic players (and the various anime-based TCG games, for the younger set) seem to be just fine with the idea. It just happens that the camera setup lets you play online (you can play just fine in person with real cards only)
At least the basic commands (ls, cp, ps, etc.) are aliased to their equivalents in PSH (Get-Childitem, Copy-Item, Get-Process). Granted, the truly intresting stuff is pulling up.NET libraries in the shell, which there's no real equivalent of in bash in Linux.
A) Not everything can be solved by installing software B) See my sig. Most "normal people" run at leopard speed (pun unintended) at first sight of a command line
Tell me, what would you rather look at: an LCD display, or something that is (for reading purposes) just like a sheet of paper? These are easier on your eyes, they're readable in sunlight, and consume less power (only on for changing pages)
You may want to update your sig to reflect the other DRM-free stores sprouting up (Amazon, Wal-Mart, Zune Marketplace soon) and Universal selling DRM-free music on Amazon as well. Not to mention places like eMusic and Magnatune
In addition to the sibling post's comments, Google Docs also supports ODF if you need ODF support in a pinch, no matter where you are (or what platform as long as it has a decent browser for that matter)
PS: the spell check of firefox doesnt recognise doc as a spell mistake whereas it recognises odf as a spell mistake. this I just noticed Doc = shorthand for doctor, therefore it's actually a word. I highly doubt Firefox would recognize xls, ppt, or docx as words.

Think I found that one:

Since it can recharge from itself, it uses less energy, and therefore doesn't cost as much to keep going.
PS: The self-recharging tram is not in charge of Gundam.

It's an Intel GMA 950. Not much, but it does do OpenGL, and can even do Compiz if you want to on this thing.
I'd say "personal archiving" would fit the bill, since you are a person and you are archiving it (never mind that said archive is your $MP3_PLAYER)

You mean like how Vista was based off Server 2003?
The 360 does run Windows. Granted, it's heavily stripped down and not even on the same architecture, but it's still Windows.
Wrong again.

The open-source ATI driver (the one that's been around a while, not the new one AMD's starting) is nearly perfect with R200 (Radeon 8500/9100m) cards
Well, my cheap ATI card runs at 1024x768 at 32-bit color with full 3d acceleration
(Note: Mobility Radeon 9100, R200)
Error: This question cannot be answered in it's current state ;)
The implementation is nearly the same, but it's all the run-as-admin-only baggage Vista has that makes it so much more annoying.

We still have the long refresh rates (sometimes in seconds) to deal with.
Bittorrent really only works for sharing files.
On the other hand, a Beowulf cluster* or Folding@Home-ish setup would have done the trick.
*Feel free to begin imagining one...
Wow! I didn't expect my GPU-powered password cracker to be that fast!
Seems like that method would open up a new DoS vector, just brute-force the disable passwords until everyone's locked out

Use another archive format (like 7z, RAR, tar.gz, etc.), or rename your .zip to something like .piz. Foils it every time.

Applications -> Add/Remove, search for MPlayer and it should be #1 on the list.
