The fact is that any team capable of solving these problems is worth MUCH more than any prize offered. Offering a prize is pointless IMO - it's like giving a surgeon a $20 bill every he saves a life.

I disagree. I think Microsoft is not at all happy about this. Knowing that a mac can run Windows eliminates a major reason a lot of people (including myself) don't use a Mac - I need Windows for certain tasks that I cannot otherwise do. This will increase the Mac marketshare and ultimate, Microsoft will lose out!

So it's OK to add craplets such as Internet Explorer, but when an OEM wants to add something to the package it's not OK?
How long until Microsoft wants to jump into this marketspace as well?
It's not that the Euro is doing well, it's just that the American dollar has been sucking for the past several years
"this is ONLY Fedora"??? Only? Come on now... I ONLY had sex 9 times last night ;)

When the US doesn't directly profit from the gambling (national lottery, Las Vegas economy, etc.) they try to get rid of it stating it is "immoral".
