Hey, that would be great! Then I wouldn't be able to use my laptop, because Ubuntu blows up whenever I try to install it or run the LiveCD. I bought Linux for Dummies and spent 6 hours digging through mostly-incomprehensible documentation before I gave up.
(No, I don't have much experience with Linux.)
I had no trouble whatsoever installing a copy of Windows XP on said laptop. I also have no trouble using a Damn Small Linux LiveCD.
That doesn't bode well for the future Ubuntu Empire.
I, for one, welcome our new OpenGL-hating overlords.
DirectX and.NET for the win!
OSX and Linux users get the shaft on games, developers have to be restrained and put in padded rooms (for thier own safety), and the publisher has to add several hundred megabytes of DirectX 9.2B and.NET 2.18979837499 to the install CD's. How does this NOT help everybody?
Hmmm... a phone with a freely modifiable OS. Let me use my psychic powers:
I am seeing millions more posting "wft dude how i clone a celfone?".
I also see the uncountable numbers of tech support calls from grandma who downloaded the "daily bible quote" program only to find that it dials a 900 number every 2 minutes.
I am seeing Stephen Carter, CEO of Cingular, actually falling off of his chair made of solid gold when he hears this news.
I am seeing an emergency RIAA meeting when they figure out that it COULD, POTENTIALLY be made to RECORD and DISTRIBUTE ILLEGAL MUSIC!
I also see a mac user unable to get his mac to talk to his cell phone; but no one really cares.
