Yeah I agree Paintbrush is a very useful app compared to wordpad, notepad, and windows movie maker.
Though if Microsoft did include useful apps they are found to be abusing their monopoly.(KDE and Gnome both included broswers in their shells and they haven't been sued)
1) Simple and Easy to Use
2) It works, no fiddling around with firewall setting for voice chat.
3) It is built for voice chat.
4) Marketing
5) Range of Platforms (eg it has skype made linux clients)
Not necessarily overkill. An exploit which existed for quite sometime are Unicode characters which look the same as an US ASCII character. E.g., the greek omicron looks pretty much exactly like an "o". Someone could jolly well have you think you're going to "www.mozilla.com" when it's actually written with an omicron and is, in fact, a completely different site. Or there are a lot of other blocks in Unicode, e.g., the cyrillic (russian) block that has characters which look just like an US ASCII character to you, but to a computer (e.g., to the DNS server) they're a completely different character code.
How about we just ban utf-8 and unicode for web addresses and only allow a set of possibly values.
And the DMCA makes it fun. Indefinite Copyright, eg when copyrighted work expires it still has DRM which is illegal to break under the DMCA so you have PD work that has restricted distribution.
They are expensive. However Lego bricks are high quality, you know that the bricks are durable and propely made(ie sticks together and no loose bits of plastic)
Though you need to make sure the admin knows what they are doing. One that knows how to operate permissions, manage a proxy server, knows how to ghost/image machines, actually knows the purpose of anti virus, and knows about various computer processors.
At my highschool the computer admin did:
1)Have all profiles and user data in one folder that had the windows equivalent of chmod -R 777 * (some kid deleted the profile data for the teachers logins instead of 10min login, it took 40min)
2)Have 100mhz pc running an X terminal server client, booting win 2000 while having 64kbps connection for all the computers(very slow, though it did stop porn/game dl.)
3)Set the terminal server up so that users could access the server's hardrive (eg could delete office)
4) No anti-virus because we stopped students from using floopys, with out stopping teachers using them(the teachers had crap passwords
5) Once they relized explorer was being used to access the other foldersw they ran a program that randomly decided to block explorer from running;).
They don't need you to register that way to trace you. ie IP Address, ISP registration,DHCP leasing logs, etheral, Log Files, off line commincation bugs...
It is probably would be just a box where you can type what ever
That way they can charge you with making a false statement as well as treason/anti goverment actions.
Its just like Incoming USA flight, Passengers has to fill out a form and one of the questions tick a box if you are a terrorist or a member of a terrorist organisation.
Why doesn't Germany license the internet like Car Driving. ie To use the internet you have to pass a Test and the pay renewal fees every couple of years.
Positives from a government point of view:
1)Eliminate/reduce clueless users supporting spam/virus writers/bot-nets.
2)YAT Yet another tax for the government

That is what I was thinking. Probaly it is so they have an easy way to patch the unpatchable kernel if a security whole is found.
What's to stop them putting their fingers in another pie?
An OS shouldn't need a gig to run the os.
One reason why they probably don't use ogg is because the lack of offical support for it on Windows.
and Imagine the bitchiness, backstabbing, catfighting and misliding orders (eg Can we nuke them? Can you take out the garbarge)
That is a good point!. Though if you get information to cite from the internet that is part of the risk it might be deleted.

Heard of permanent links? That is why they have an edit history.
Inteligent design at Work!!

So you are going to encrypt your main copy and have an unencrypted version sitting around somewhere?
Most people use windows so just having the OS run for a week is a source of pride!
A True nerd would listern to it in the Basement.
A True nerd would be streaming it over ssh from his basement to his laptop in the kitchen.
The kids are using their own resources.
Spamming is like phoning with reverse charges. It costs you!
Probably they sent it as thanks because they could code something other then security holes/fixes.

Even cheaper to break just grab owner's fingers.
Well mine can do protein construction. Beat that!
