Practically all Californian structures are built to withstand earthquakes. After living in CA and MA, I've found that the effort that it takes to clean up after MA's blizzards is much more then the big earthquakes in CA that we've seen in the past 20 years.
Solaris might stand a chance if Sun can get it sold pre-installed out-of-the-box. In such a situation, it has a big of a driver problem as OS X, in that it only needs to support hardware that it's sold with, and not Joe's Bargain Basement NIC.
I think we all overestimate Acid 2's ability to accuratly test standards complience. "Acid2 does not guarantee conformance with any specification." [http://www.webstandards.org/act/acid2/guide.html] . The description of the test makes it sound like it's an all-or-nothing test for a chosen subset of features of various standards, including CSS. The acid test is certainly helpful, but I wouldn't use it as a condition for saying something negative about a product's support of a standard, given that perfect support of a standard is often easier said then done.
It seems that a series of tests that exercise various features and allow for a score to be generated would be more more ideal. This is similar to how one would develop unit tests for business objects in a professional development environment. Saying that "[browser X] passes 90% of the CSS unit tests" would be much more descripting then saying "[browser X] fails the acid test".
Hey, I finished the thing at 1AM. (Hense the disclaimer at the top of the page.) My goal was to have something available for people who are eager to see IE 7, but don't have access. If you want a polished and complete review, I suggest waiting a few days until people have had time to live with IE 7.

The "new features" that I'm refering to are the attempts at warning the user about phishing sites. Specifically; government, techies, and noobs alike find phishing to be a serious threat.

This was eventual, no surprise here.

Just keep allocating frequencies to faster wireless internet protocols. Problem solved! ;)

Agreed, see my suggestions at the end of my article.
