This will never go over well with the recording industry. To me it sounds a lot like the old Napster. Everybody sharing music, everybody downloading music, since everybody downloading has sharing credits there is not need to purchase music any longer, thus free music for all!
I like the idea don't get me wrong.
I thought it was strange that my IE7 beta 2 defaulted to google search...I have the google toolbar installed but the default box is google not msn search. Anyways, Google should stop crying for all the other reasons given (ie; firefox and safari default to google).
I agree with Eric. And people need to stop putting Linux on this pedastol, as soon as you get my USB dongle and on-board sound to work with Linux then you can try to convince me of it being excellent for personal computing. Linux is great for networks, servers and is a real workhorse but please it's not suited at the moment for everyday personal use. OS X is great but like Eric said it WOULD have problems with hardware support once ported on to a regular non-apple PC. They would have to put a lot of work into making it more robust, and like M$ they would run into problems.
