wonder how many Windows users know how to use Netstat -a -n
Not many. They don't have to. Note this is posted from linux, which I use because I like doing all sorts of programming related things with my computer and don't mind editing/etc/X11/xorg.conf to go multihead etc. My users use Windows and are comfortable there because while it doesn't often do as much, it does it easier for the most part. Which is what they want.
Linux is where the backend stuff is going. Windows is still what all the client ends are chasing.
Your statement would be better founded if it were so in reality. An OS is an/environment/, not merely the kernel upon which it resides. It is the whole of the standard set of kernel services, standard libraries, filesystem layout and other aspects which when combined create a unique structure upon which applications can run.
Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo etc are different Operating Systems. Admitedly, they are all variations on a theme, but one cannot pull an app off of any one of them and expect it to behave perfectly on the next, just because they utilize the same kernel H/W multiplexer under the hood.
Files are stored differently, permissions can be done in different ways ( with ACL extensions for example ). Different daemons are standard.
Each of these is unique enough to where without the special attention of package maintainers and translators, software would be hell to run across them. And before you say compile from source, watch the myriad of things your autoconf is checking next time it runs through. All but the simplest C programs are rife with preprocessor hacks to change code segments that need to run certain ways in certain environments. And if you're not seeing these differences in the programs, they are simply hidden in the libraries.
In Windows, explore.exe, windows media player, and even the oft maligned internet explorer with its active-x are all parts of the OS. Standard objects upon which any program can depend. Parts of the environment.
Your soundbyte sounds informative, but it's wrong.
Oman, Cuban Belize me, because I know. They're like a Swiss kick to your Netherlands, not exactly Ghana Britain up your day. They're better at least than any of the comments posted under Anonymous France.
It is once you have changed it to a more useful key ( e.g. my caps being a CTRL for emacs ). I have an old Zentith Data Systems keyboard I pulled off of a 286 that I like because it has this layout naturally.
You can't curse that many years of elisp of out existance that easily. And for that matter, though he be slightly portly and rather ominously bearded, Richard Stallman hardly passes for even a remote semblance of a torturous hell. Not to mention the difficulties in actually placing the emacs back into the Stallman...:p

The research parks had nothing to do with the modern patent troll.
On another note :
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060724-73 40.html For a company like Xerox or AT&T, what it meant to have a blue sky research lab was very much like what it means for a city to host a winning sports team; it was a source of pride and an anchor of collective identity. So much like the science that they produced, these labs were ends in themselves.
The company treated it like a city does a sports franchise? Perhaps. Like a city constantly threatening to close down the franchise unless it starts keeping people in the bleachers. Research parks were expected to create something useful. The difference between them and floor engineers was that they measured product creation in years with expected initial investments of a decade or more.

The five year thing is hilarious. I read the title of this and laughed since I'd read this on darpa.mil some time ago and would never have thought to post it here. If this old thing is 'news', than I'd say that every one of these projects must count.
Seriously. This is more of a disestablishment. In Finland. So a sort of disestablishment du Fin. And newer than the popularly referred to disestablishment, so perhaps, neodisestablishment du Fin. Its proponents, of course, proneodisestablishment'Du'Fininsts. Its opponents, standing up for their state church, are of course the antineodisestablishment'Du'Fininsts. Whilst the proneodisestablishmentarianism'Du'Finist camp appears to have an early lead, do not discount the antineodisestablishmentarianism'Du'Finist group. They'll move soon enough.

Good bye libpcap! oh ethereal wireshark, where art thou?

From the screenshots I'd say that end-user wise the chance that Vista isn't going to eat everything else alive is damn near nil.

On another note :
I call BS on this article as well. Read Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age . That these things were never expected to return on investment is bunk.

Hard as in has to have the better implementation of the various technologies rather than just exclusive rights to them?
I do run linux. I administer many user windows boxen however...
