If the humble bundle has teach me something, it is that 20% of the market of game buyers are Linux users.
I don't think these companies should be ignoring 20% of potential buyers, specially when the work to make it run in Linux is already half done for the Mac.
Criminals could just commit crimes in places they usually don't. Or choose at random. Actually, if the police starts putting more officers in the crime ridden part of town, that means the other parts will be easier targets.
Compare that to a clueless windows user who hasn't updated anything since he got the computer... Usually people who want the latest version of something is because they need certain functionality it brings. The clueless person will conform with just having the application.
Default repositories could satisfy the clueless users perfectly.
I'm not a windows user, but whenever I'm forced to use it, I really miss the package manager.
One would though that with so many users, some of them could get together create a dpkg/synaptic-like program and make a repository with all the free software available for windows. It could also contain scripts for installing freely downloadable software that can't be redistributed. Heck, they could also allow some password based solution for software vendors who want users to get updates easily adding their repository.
Real world companies use NPV (Net Present Value) instead of TCO. The only reason they make comparisons in TCO terms is because free software wins in NPV.
Because with computers, we can share things without losing them, and that's a good thing. They did not steal that thing from you because you still have it.

There's an xkcd for that!
I think I'll start using variations of "FUCKYOUSTOPUSINGPLAINTEXTFORSAVINGPASSWORDS!!!" as my password. Too bad /. only allows 20 characters.
Have you or your clients send any cracker to jail? For getting into the systems you secure.

Yeah of course, but in GNU/Linux mostly you don't need to pay to upgrade so you barely need backwards compatibility.
Also, is this some sort of privileges sandbox?
"I'm right until you prove me wrong" ?
It's so shocking it will leave me sleepless.

Association Fallacy, you Fail
I don't get it. A person creates something, somebody else through very little effort on their part makes money off that work.
How is that right?
Are you talking about the record companies making money off the artists?

People will go see it anyway, this is a quite good measure of the receptivity a movie is gonna have.
