The reason you are able to make your snide remark is because of the scientific method. And yet you try to avoid the scientific method with dumb rhetoric. Hypocritical much?
Couldn't agree more. We just got past the point where IE6 can finally be considered dead and now Google tries to make exactly the same problem. No web developer will be insane enough to target a Google-only platform given their recent history of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
Here are the requirements for the exam she passed according to this guy. Suffice it to say you need to know a little more then that. If you aren't impressed by that I would hate to be your kid. Clearly setting records just isn't good enough for you.
I did read it just fine. There is absolutely no problem with a linux distro that contains closed source software, you even provided your own citation for that and I provided you with numerous examples of exactly this happening.
Given the history of MS, they would link Office such that MS Linux requires it and vice versa.
Nothing but speculation. See here:
Yes just like how office is so entrenched into windows
Notice how office is sold separately from windows.
You really should have actually read the entire quote before copy pasting it.
However, in many cases you can distribute the GPL-covered software alongside your proprietary system.
The GPL applies only to software that is licensed under it. It does not creep into third party products which happen to be distributed along side GPL software. This is why Internet Explorer can support PNG images, or game engines can use ogg vorbis, or Ubuntu can include binary only drivers for Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. All they have to do is distribute the GPL covered sources including any modifications they make on request. Distributing source code under other licenses is not required.
Knowing MS, the linkage between Office and their version of Linux would be so entrenched as to be inseparable.
Yes just like how office is so entrenched into windows and OSX that they are inseparable. Right.
I don't think you understand how the GPL works. Linux distros aren't licensed under the GPL, the programs they ship with are (most of them anyways). In fact many distros ship with binary only programs and drivers, even the linux kernel contains binary blob firmware for various devices.

I can't imagine why someone who spends significant amounts of time on a technology website would not be curious about the latest technology. It strikes me as a contradiction. God forbid you might like the new version better.

It would have been useful 5 years ago. Thinking the source is unchanged since then is naive.
Engadget article good enough? Haven't tracked down the actual study because journalists rarely link to them.
Believe it or not, WP7 is growing faster then android did in its first year of availability.

I think I'll side with the climatologists when it comes to talking about climatology. Maybe I'm crazy.
1. No support for ReFS on removable media.
2. Windows 8 won't be able to read or write ReFS. It's Server 8 only.
So in other words you learned how to pass standardized tests. Glad we agree.
How about a High School dedicated to learning?
You mean all of them? Including the one you seem to be complaining about.

Screwed up the second link.

Shows ignorance.
added to servers by a GUI. Fully 25% of a cpu
Indeed.
Anything really. It's an attitude that seems to be prevalent in this site and this article in particular. I guess I'm just singling you out :P
Nope, those are the OEM disc + key only copies. They don't come with the fancy printed manuals and boxes you would get in the retail versions.
Ask and ye shall receive.
.Net 3.5 is installed by default on Windows 7. If you somehow needed to install it, you fucked it up real good.

5 minutes of research. I thought this was common knowledge?
Slashdot is way behind the news as usual.
Just long enough for the next jammer to drive into range! Splendid!
