Could this be based on the economy too?
I Usually buy a new pc after a good bonus or raise. I think I was running XP last time that happened.

I'll summarize the comments on this article:
* I'm right
* No your not
* YOU'RE!

Old news. My 386 has turbo mode. Wake me when they add math coprocessors to this beast.
Stick with what you know. You're trying to enter an overpopulated market with no experience in the new languages.
"Hi I'm here for the French teaching job. "
"Experience?"
"I'm fluent in latin, amazing at it in fact"
"You're here for the wrong job"
I don't think legality was holding people back. It mainly was the technical expertise to do so.
I think jailbreaking will be still limited to the hobbiest.
To use a car analogy (Which will be replied to with a better analogy proving me wrong):
Now everyone can put "illegal" flamethrower pipes on their car and not get arrested, but who's going to do it but hobbiest?
Blah blah blah. That's what I just read.
1. Float some resumes.
2. Call out sick when in interviews
3. Pick the new job you like. Haven't made it to step 3? Stop bitching.
Life isn't that hard.

I don't think you will get good feedback unless you explain the following:
(1) be simple - To your users? Is your current UI simple enough for them? Tip: If you know your user's names, you're the real interface.
(2) be easy to update - Over a network or sneakernet? Do you have Admin rights? A central server?
(3) be able to send PCL commands to LAN-attached printers - Seems detailed enough. Firewall might be a problem.
(4) allow email feedback - Again, What's your firewall situation? POP/etc gets blocked a lot if they're (the app) is the "server".
Not gripes, just helpful to know if you want answers.

I thought of that joke when I was 11. Damn you misconfigured autoexec.bat! You led me down this path to the cubical I now live in!
I can't wait to pay (Too much Money) a month to complain about it!
I would like to add this one:
As a member of the "Net Generation", I feel we have tuned ourselves to calling out Bullshit...
We have an ability to figure out that some stuff is the result of marketing vs. actual Buzz. That's why fake "viral videos" are so painful to watch.
Examples:
- Cyber Monday (We know this WAS fake, but stores use it to market now)
- MySpace Buzz (We knew this was dead years ago)
- CNN trying to be "hip" (We saw this from a mile away)
- The ACTUAL relevancy of Twitter vs. what is said on TV (Regis has a twitter account, it's officially uncool)
- 3DTV (A new one from this week due to CES. Seriously, I/We're not feeling it)
Now we can easily add the phrases "iGeneration" and "Net Generation"
We know these phrases are bullshit, but get ready to hear more about it.
I program, therefore I am.
