As far as Linux, expect that it won't work at all unless someone can manage to find a crack to unprotect content.
There's tons of things people have been cracking these days. Take DVD copyright protection. They've cracked that. I don't see why someone wouldn't find a way to crack this.
So far from what Microsoft is letting the public in on, it looks like Longhorn is going to be Windows XP with less "features" and some new themes that can already be found for XP for free if you know where to look.
To me, this is a step backwards in technology (giving us less than we have today as far as video is concerned).
If this monitor thing manages to make it into the final release, it alone will be enough to make me ignore longhorn's existence completely. I'm hoping monitor manufacturers won't cooperate.
The RIAA and MPAA need to stop their bitching and stay the hell away from computers with their meddling! Places like the Internet are supposed to be free places, unrestricted by others like the government and companies influence over other companies!
DRM is the bane of my existence! It needs to be stopped. A world without it isn't significantly hurting anyone, but a world with it is going to feel ridiculously restricted as compared to what we're currently used to.

I'd rather go to space for that price.
Don't forget...
Java 1.5 = Java 5
Good ol' sun skipping to higher numbers to make their software seem more advanced.
1) Buy company hosting the largest social networking site on the internet.
2) Use its user base to fuel your next big reality show.
3) We have to suffer through another crappy FOX reality show and of course (sadly) Profit!!!
As cool as this is, I'd rather shell out the extra money for one of these. I rarely look at my keyboard.
