I believe that the main reason for the increase is that, until DX10 cards become commonplace which support GPU multitasking, WMPlayer by default disables the hardware overlay to ensure that desktop does not switch to Areo Basic everytime a video is played as happens with VLC. By disabling the hardware overlay in VLC you get the same experience as in WMP.
The problem also refers to licensing of of content within BBC produced shows. For example, the BBC has a license to use any piece of music in there shows, except if used as a theme tune, for broadcast use. This does not extend to DVD releases. Therefore it can be argued that either DRM restricted or streamed media only available for a certain length of time counts as being broadcast and therefore covered. The same cannot be said for download to keep shows as can be seen my the differences between radio listen again and podcast versions of some radio shows.
The BBC does not have the financial resources to stream shows for the population in a watchable format (that is higher than the current streams for things like Wimbledon) and therefore is using a P2P based distribution system. The only way of complying with the license is therefore to use DRM and as has been stated there is no cross platform DRM solution currently available.
I think you ought to the effects the so-called 'bloody code' in England between the 17th and 19th centuries on the crime rate - there was a reason that it was eventually abandoned.
Noble but the distinctions are not well enough defined. An organisation might well wish to make profits from their website in the form of donataions of "gift shop" style stuff and be registered as a registered charity which bracket do they fall into? What about an organisation which is much smaller and hasn't got registered charity status but does much a similar thing? What about an individual who wishes to raise money via his personal website for a cause close to him using similar methods? Where do these fall under your scheme?
The main differences betweenthe retail and OEM versions of Vista (which is all I know about) is the OEM only permits new installations (not upgrading), is locked to the first motherboard on to which it is installed (which is apparantly going to be enforced more than under XP) and the person that breaks the seal on the OEM box is responsible for providing support to the end user. Aside from that there are no other restrictions on the use of OEM MS software.
The RealTeK Control Panel does provide some extra functionality: Jack Repurposing, Room Correction, Plug/Unplug notifications, Speaker configuration greater than that available through Windows (Vista in my case), options to split the front panel headphone jack from the back panel outputs and a few others.
All of these bills I have seen introduced have a "implemented by multiple vendor" clauses in them
which kind of kicks word and ooxml to the curb now doesn't it.
Not really. Doc files have been implemented by OO.o and several others (maybe not fully complient with the 'spec' but near enough to count and I can't see OOXML being any different. The popularity of the Microsoft formats will increase by shear inertia and cause other programs to implement it, even if just by putting the OOXML->ODF converter on the front.
If you want to use WebDav with Windows XP SP2 it has to use authentication over SSL or Windows Authentication otherwise XP blocks it on site. The only way around is through changing a registry key which isn't an apropriate solution for most users
Nobody in their right mind would use a sampling rate of 256khz
Not entirely true. DSD uses sample rates of the order of 4MHz but at only one bit and many sound cards internally use an oversampling technique at the frequency range you talk about, but only a handful of bits.
If you are an audio engineer it is highly likely that you are not using the Windows audio stack to begin. With the exception of SONAR, nearly every other product uses ASIo or some other method so the changes in Vista won't affect it.
It's not entirely true that the new formats will force you to upgrade. There is the Office Compatibility Pack which allows Office 2003 + XP to open and save OpenXML formats as well as convert between them. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA10168 6761033.aspx
Fame doesn't quite mean nothing at least in UK copyright law. In order to show that a work as been copied you not only have to show the similarity between the two works but also that the person alleged of copying had a reasonable chance of hearing the original work. In this case fame is important. There was a case between the Bee Gees and a local artist over alleged copying and although the similarity was there (one of the Bee Gees even mistook it for his own track on the stand) and the local artist had got the first confirmed date on the work, because he coldn't show that the Bee Gees had listened to it he wasn't compensated. How realiable this type of defence in the internet age would be it another matter.
Compared to what we as a small shop had to pay to our credit card processing company (who was the cheapest available when the contract was signed) PayPal's rates are very reasonable.

Pretty much sums up my attitude to the whole thing as well
You would be suprised about the anount of documentation. If people lower down in the food chain want to cover themselves the first thing they do is put it in writing. Take the Suez Crisis for example. There is clearly documentation to show that the British used sexed up intelligence to manufacture a war against Egypt to reclaim Suez. If documentation exists to show this then I wouldn't be at all suprised if the same is true of Iraq

So what exactly can I do extra on a Mac?
It is UK law that there is a maximum that can be paid with each value of coin. See question 12 of http://www.royalmint.com/RoyalMint/web/site/Corpor ate/Home/Corp_faq.asp

Just to correct you on IIS. According to secunia there have been 3 vulnerabilities for IIS 6 in its life time http://secunia.com/product/1438/ is the same as Apache 2.2 http://secunia.com/product/9633/
