"allow alternative approaches to flourish and be chosen (or not) on their merits"
I think the reason for the interest is that the options are limited and people want to rant and chest beat over the contenders. No one is wrong for saying basically "this is a good start but please stop fucking it up"
I use gnome on fedora - have used KDE a bit. But i have turned off the eye candy as it is often done be VNC over a few K's. But really when I fire up the apps I need then I dont want to the desktop. from there pls make it quick, nothing else but quick. Perhaps you folks could recommend a lighter desktop.!

What if the company is owned by the person who hired you? The one who sits in the same office and does the same job? The one that I do accounts for and know when the "company" is making a profit or loss but still pays me the same?
I think if I asked my boss to pay me for every second I was on site then he would be upset about me having a cig every couple of hours and take the time off. (Maybe when he was on the road I could not smoke!).
Cant argue with the value of the union but me n da' boss work best together on BOTH counts!!! hehe! I my experince its better to have what you have than count what you never took!

As a MD of a ntaional recruitment firm I can say that most people skills tested cannot use many (MOST!) of the features in MS apps. MS Server Admis are no different. No one has to have this stuff - this is fluff around any of the core apps - by core we mean communicate (email client / server), shared diary system, shared files.
Now with firefox, thunderbird, apache, php, mysql, samba, rsync, ssh, nfs - isn't this all trivial? It is in my business.
Oh and users perfer supported programs - ie: they can go and ask "Bob" if their screen can have a new menu / button / whatever and the next day Bob knocks out the code and the innovation is put into practice.
"this has turned into an extremely low-margin game for all of the players"...
Every mature market, everytime, this happens.
Whatever your game - its been done - so have different core and non-core income streams. Cars sell parts, tyres, fuel, etc,... You in business? Sell more than your slogan.
"To further complicate things, there is a severity and priority attached to every bug. Severity is a measure of the impact the bug has on the customer/end-product. It can range from 1 (Bug crashes system) to 4 (Just a typo). Priority is a measure of the importance of the bug. It ranges from 0 (Bug blocks team from doing any further work, must fix now), to 3 (Trivial bug, fix if there is time). (I don't know why the ranges don't match, BTW, seems silly to me)"
Just a guess but is it multiplication? Like golf the lowest score gets the prize? (ie: the lowest score = x 0). Hence they 2nd numbering system starts @ 0.

I love Group Policy when I have to do stuff to the corp. network. But I am always confused as to why only windows servers and apps can be controlled. - Is it not just a reg hack or something? Cant anyone write some code to hack X and Y of thier app over the network?
Or is it just an MS thing that all the backdorrs belong to them?

No silly.....they are breeding them in server farms - thats why there are so many more servers!

Great tool - but why so limited?
