Spreading fear and hate certainly is not part of the Christian message in my book.
Is it not? Try telling that to Jesus, he pretty much invented from scrap the whole "fear of hell" dungturd. Before him, IIRC, jews said that everyone went after death to the same place right under Yhwh's glory forever; if you loved him and were a good jew that should make you happy, and if you weren't you'd suffer from guilt and remorse under him. Similar, but not quite the same.
In other words, even a broken clock can give the right time twice a day.

So if Windows makes computers cheaper, what exactly is the Microsoft tax?
You fail at reading. Look at your parent post:
it's usually cheaper to buy a laptop on sale [...]
Windows doesn't make computers cheaper, being on sale makes computers cheaper.
"155mph" with a car? That's 250km/h, almost Mach 0.73; are you sure you don't mean 155km/h?
A probe crashed on Mars because of that, you know.
I don't really see the drawback to eliminating Flash NOW and scheduling the elimination of h264 in 2 or 4 or 6 years when enough phones have moved through the market to make hardware support fairly standard.
I see one: Flash is so "open" that currently there are no fully-usable alternatives; the guys at GNash, Lightspark and SWFDec are working on it, but it'll take a while to replace it. However, there is an alternative to h264 that is good enough, and that works now. Again, there will be a few drawbacks for WebM on mobile devices until the upcoming hardware with full VP8 support starts to replace current devices, but unless MPEG-LA manages to eat everybody's brains and force h264 as a standard, it's just a matter of time.
You cannot grasp the true form of my answer!
(Warning: link leads to TvTropes. Inari-kun will not be held responsible for hours of time lost as a result of following it)
Also, sites are not going to give up on H.264 because H.264 is vastly superior for mobile devices.
Sites won't give up on H.264 yet because it has already acquired a situational advantage (hardware support) that WebM still doesn't have. But AMD, ARM and Broadcam are working on it, and Intel has announced that they consider doing the same, so it's a matter of time.
This is just open source fanboys promoting an inferior solution to solve a problem that is far more imaginary than real.
The problem is more complex than you think. (Ba-dum, zing)
