Nah, DVD packaging is easy to open. Just pierce the plastic with a screwdriver or something at the indentation on the side you use to open the case and rip the plastic off. The actual DVD holder has sometimes proved to be more problematic, with center tabs that require you to use so much force that bends the DVD or DVD indentations that are half a millimeter too small for the DVD...
That's what you get for using an insecure OS (*cough* Windows)/browser (*cough* IE)/configuration/whatever. Too bad the IT department often doesn't learn about security until there's a bigger breach.
Indeed. If I published LumpioBrowser 1.0 which only supported, say, viewing webpages as text, I could make it more secure than Firefox or Opera or IE will ever be. Of course nobody would use it because it would simply suck. Internet Explorer is only popular because it happens to come with the OS that happens to be the most popular one for desktop use.
I doubt "e-commerce" sites will break any more or less than any other site online, so why put emphasis on them? Oh, and sites will more likely be affected by bug*fixes*, not new bugs. MS finally made an attempt to fix some of IE's bugs and in all honesty I doubt they could have done worse than the bug-ridden crash-prone sorry attempt at a browser IE6 is.
I think the point is that they can be used from quite much any modern enough PC, even PCs you can't really go and install an X server onto. Think libraries, certain computer labs, maybe friends' places etc.

Now that's just a blatant lie, a lot of white text on a black background can be very interesting!
...then again, I guess most other people don't get excited looking at emerge logs.
The page talks about 35x103 *milli*meters though, not centimeters.

I agree - this has been bugging me since I heard about "YouOS" ages ago. It's not an OS. I'd rather refer to it as an online desktop environment.
Of course, it's only feared in America because there are no dentists outside America. Only witch doctors and shamen and stuff.
