I'm using KDE since Ubuntu 11.10 dropped Gnome Classic (which was really much more stable than both Unity and KDE). I Turned off nepomuk and now it is driving me crazy with notifications that appear even after turning them off. Even then, it's the best I could find in this distro.
The same can be said about US people... They think US way is the only way to go.
The same can be said about US government's control of information (I think it's even better, though)
It depends... Argentina's law is a joke in this aspect. They were supposed to sue people who has been pirating music, but nothing happened. the government does much less than they talk, and they don't talk a lot... so most people would take the risk, because they know nothing will happen.
But, if something like you say is really done (which I seriously doubt), I think most people would buy Windows (this is not Cambodia, proprietary software IS expensive but affordable). Nonetheless I would encourage everybody I know to change, and I'd have much more success than now
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I can say that although it is somewhat easy to find a shop that sells legal copies of software, most people just buy a pirated copy... why? because it's 1 dollar per disk, and the worst thing is that people do not see this as a bad thing... Personally, I don't agree to pay loads of money for legal software, I just use Linux and OSS, as most people would do if pirated software didn't exist here, but it does, so OSS has not much sense here anyways.

I'd say that Debian is just as easy to configure nowadays due to Ubuntu's bloat. And It's maybe easier if you want to customize things.

Stallman has no need for stones, he has his katana
Me too... I imagined the new game engine would include anti-alcohol subliminal messages...
I have more faith in android than in openmoko. Just because Google is pushing it
As seen in Die Hard 4, this devices can be plugged in high tech suitcases and process in parallel to crack passwords and that kind of stuff.
Thanks, John, for the response and your support (even if it's not official)! Redundant Post BTW, but I had to say thanks...
Netscape 8 depended on IE and was NOT available for linux. It seems they are not depending on it any longer with NS9
