I like Antivirus 2011 more, although it seems to use a bit more of my internet connection all the time for updates.

Sadly, in the typical office this move would remove him from the employed group.
NOD32, Avira, and Avast are popular now, as well as Malwarebytes for the less destructive nasties.
I sometimes try to convince people of this but most are blinded by the draw of new technology. Color laser used to be reserved for the rich but now anyone can afford it and just having it makes them feel better. A lot of tech purchases are due to an effect like this. The emotional component should not be discounted; the choice is more than a logical one.
Some of the best windows support too, have you seen the quality of their drivers? Compared to Lexmark, HP, and Dell to name a few; It's wonderful.
Plus the prices of laser printers are nowhere near what they were 15 years ago. That $2000 (i don't remember what they cost back then but it was at least that much) monochrome laser from 15 years ago can be replaced by a $150 model today. If it lasts 2 years that's still an amortized net gain. 'Good enough' is the new standard; deal with it.
It's not just dead to peer group; most modern jobs require use of the internet in some way. It's a sentence of poverty (which coincidentally is becoming essentially more illegal every year...)
If you only keep one copy of your data anywhere, even "the cloud", it was never safe.
Only if SV Inc trademarked their company name (which many companies do not do). SV LLC is a legally distinct name and the case would not be as straightforward as you expect.
Screw educating, this situation calls for whitelisting and non-administrator privileges.
You would rather install a huge software suite than look at the menus for a few seconds for a print option? hint: File->Print. It even defaults to printing all slides so you don't have to change anything!
The real question will be: would you rather buy Moblin or Maemo?
The current trend is to get a lot of recessed lights and stick the cheapest CFLs in them. They look terrible though. Even the best CFLs have 82 CRI and a very spiky spectrum using a triphosphor formula. LED bulbs are far worse. The best lights are color proofing 90+CRI T5/T8 fluorescents or halogens (solux for example) if you can stand the heat output. Properly installed lighting with a 60-80% indirect component (bounced off the ceiling for example) any room gets a hell of a lot more comfortable. http://www.labs21century.gov/pdf/bp_lighting_508.pdf
Maybe a vm for each app would be easier? That's what I do for my web server and it makes updating/fixing stuff a lot easier.
Does not apply. There is an unlimited supply and demand is based largely on marketing budget and price in relation to similar products. Changes in demand (purchase demand, not including piracy demand) have not been proven to be connected (either positively or negatively) to piracy (where demand is based on both marketing budget and quality).
