"This dubious claim by OSS fanatics that Amarok is "w0r1d'Z best media player" is laughable. If anything it's an indictment of Open Source as a community of amateur developers who have little grasp of human interface design, and don't know how to develop a proper GUI. It's slow - ugly as - convoluted (vertical tabbed interface, need I say more)? OSS certainly has produced some finely designed mass-market apps to be proud of, such as Firefox, but Amarok isn't one of them. Nor is Open Office, but that's another comment."

""I thought most businesses ran Linux servers." Where did you get that idea? From Linux newgroups? This is actually a myth that is continuously tossed around as if it were fact. While it's true that Linux is a very popular platform on servers, and is widely deployed, Windows Server still maintains the dominant share of the server market (in the neighborhood of +60%). And for clarity sake...Linux growth on servers is coming largely at a cost to UNIX, not Windows."

"AMD processors are way behind Intel in terms of performance. And Nvidia whoops the pants off any ATI graphics card, so I don't see how these products are going to speed up Vista compared to Intel/Nvidia."

"Vista does one thing really well - make a brand new PC feel like its two years old. Until Microsoft address this serious flaw (which SP1 hasn't), XP is staying put on my hardware. When an OS runs sluggish on Intel "Wolfdale' processors, something is wrong."

"Sensational or not, the basis behind the film is sound. Darwinism has monopolized educational curriculum for too long. It's heartbreaking that the Theory of Evolution is widely accepted as Man's origins, and presented to students as fact, with a wink. Theory, no matter how sound, amounts to little more than a guess supported by evidence. How factual the theory is depends on the solvency of its supporting evidence. Evolution is merely one among hundreds of possible theories to Man's origins, deserving NO MORE credibility than the assertion that humans came to this world by way of another. I'm neither religious nor espouse Creationism, but I sure as hell advocate exploration and questioning the universe around us. The fact that science takes Darwinism on face value and seems to stop asking questions beyond its realm is alarming. Science is based on questions. This is the 21st century. It's time to start opening our minds to new worlds and new possibilities and leave Darwinism where it..."

"Eh... I don't know where this myth originates from exactly, but in no way does Linux dominate ANY market - server -desktop - embedded devices. Microsoft holds the largest market-share on servers, with somewhere in the neighborhood of 60%, with Linux trailing behind at around 20-25% - according to studies, such as this one. http://www.gulfnews.com/busines... ... Linux adoption on servers is definitely growing, but that growth is coming largely at a cost to UNIX market share, not Windows. Believe it or not, Windows Server is actually growing, which is rather frightening."

"Does the Live CD come with Beryl/Fusion enabled? Every attempt I've made to install that package in Virtualization or Live, in past releases, ended in failure."
