Not everyone has the luxury of being one of the leaders in their field, unlike the companies you mentioned. Many small companies do NOT have the kind of resources required to maintain drivers such as the ones from the companies you mentioned.
That's great for someone whose buying a video card for today's games. However, most people spending upwards of $650-750 want a card that will run tomorrow's games without any trouble. That's the point of 3DMark, a cutting edge synthetic benchmark for the latest generation of technology.
Then don't use their music organizing/playing application to play music that you didn't get from iTMS. They never said iTunes was made only for playing music.
If the brakes on your cars were discovered to have a fatal bug would you want your car company to first test a patch and see how it effects every car in the world OR that they contact your ASP and tell you your brakes are untrustworthy and to stop driving your car?
Depends, can my computer fail to come to a complete stop at an intersection, leading to a fatal collision?
Purchasing a gift card for someone lets them know that you put enough effort into the gift to get them a card at a store they will most likely shop at, while at the same time avoiding the purchase of an item that the recipient doesn't want, or need. Nobody wants to endure long return/exchange lines after the holidays, and many gift cards allow you to shop online now.
I think you meant your experience with pre-2000 Windows.
Windows 2k/XP/2K3 have been surprisingly crafty when it comes to maintaining system performance over a long period of time. Leaked memory is reclaimed, and the system does a "pseudo-defrag" whenever you're not using the computer (moving the apps and files you use the most to the center of the drive for faster access). User profiles are more cleanly kept than in the past, and honestly I only have to restart my PC every few months when I do my updates.
It has a well designed 'Interface' type that gives you nearly the exact same functionality without any of the side-effects. All classes can inherit one class, and inherit multiple interfaces.
That won't necessarily eliminate carelessness on the companies' part. If the fine is less than the cost to properly secure the data, nothing will change.
The only group that benefits in this case is the government.
You're right, "C++.net" is really just "C++ with.NET Managed Extensions". It is designed to allow C++ developers access to the.NET framework, and even host their own runtime within a C++ app. Sorry if my statement confused anyone:D
If you want to write okay code that works, VB-style, go with C#/.NET. Microsoft tends to slap together code in any way that works, without much thought to good design...
.NET for example, has a robust, fully developed design guideline to ensure that library developers are writing compatible code that extends the framework.
There is even a utility called FXCop available that can scan through your solution to make sure that your code is complying with the guidelines. Visual Studio 2005 has this functionality builtin by default.
Novell has adopted it as their.NET runtime, and there was a huge update regarding the future of mono only a month ago, which can be found here. I won't even get started on how Mono 1.1.10 was released only a month and a half ago.
Learn how.NET works before making outrageous accusations like that. He said VB.NET,BIG difference from VB6 and lower.
---.NET languages (C#/VB.NET as well as more than 24 other languages)
--.NET Framework (which compiles the language into IL and eventually JITs it into machine code)
- Operating System (which reads the machine code and carries out the instructions)
All.NET languages compile to the same intermediate language (MSIL). There are only a few subtle differences between the languages themselves. VB.net is just about as powerful as C#, which is just about as powerful as C++.net

Tell that to my creditors!

You are a number. Now sit down, 457579.
The new ATi display control panel is powered by .NET, and many other applications are taking this path too.
I salute you, Corporal FUD.

I'd rather read a written statement, than try to understand the person on the other side of the phone line (and probably the ocean).

Last time I checked, my copy of windows x64 runs like a dream on my "x64 hardware".

Microsoft *should* be supporting ALL hardware on their OS by default
Just like OS 10? Oh, wait..

.NET framework design guideline...
It's funny you say that, given the sprawling
I agree completely.
.NET for example, has a robust, fully developed design guideline to ensure that library developers are writing compatible code that extends the framework.

Sure it is, you can simply make a batch file to compile your source files.
A quick browse through that wikipedia page will show you the "philosophical differences" were obviously written by a java developer.
I dunno about that. The largest impact would probably be a cheaper Windows MC computer that comes with this card pre-installed.
It's not a matter of shutting other browsers out, it's a matter of having a browser capable of competing with the other current browsers.
If you're talking to someone that's too lazy to install the plugin, then it probably doesnt matter if someone grabs your AIM conversations.
