People speed because they are impatient, not because they think it's just as safe. People fail to wash their hands because they don't want to take 60 seconds to do it properly, not because they think it is better for others if they themselves don't wash.
People speed because they are impatient and because they think it's just as safe. Notice how most people speed at 5-10mph over the limit. They speed "safely". Occasionally you'll have some fool who speeds at 40-50mph over the limit. They're the people you describe, but they're very rare. Same thing with the hand-washing. They don't go through a full calculation and think to themselves "I've washed 40 seconds. 20 seconds more is worth someone getting sick". The risk doesn't even occur to them because they think any sort of washing makes them and others safe.
You're looking at this backwards. The re-training would be an ongoing expense, where Windows is a one time hit. You're investing in a one time Windows expense, that you then make back with interest over the coming months and years by eliminating necessary re-training to be able to use an uncommon and unfamiliar OS.
Re-training is already an ongoing expense with Microsoft products. Office ribbon, Windows 8 tile screen, any slightest change in Windows XYZ where the ABC isn't in the same pixels on the screen or is renamed something intelligible. The biggest drawback isn't the training expense, it's the fear of incompatibility with other companies' software.
The attempts by WWF and others to link this event to global warming is self-serving nonsense
"this event" is the walrus beaching, which she had darn well better know about. If the WWF said your computer started overheating due to global warming, would you take their word for it because they know climate science better, or would you check your system fans and blow dust off your heat sinks, knowing what the real cause likely is since it happens regularly, albeit rarely?
The recursive expansion will keep it tied up in court forever.

This release contains improvements and bug fixes, including:
Fixes an issue in iOS 8.0.1 that impacted cellular network connectivity and Touch ID on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
On their new flagship phones for iOS8. If Apple devs were really that thorough, I doubt that would have passed the first round of tests. On the other hand, I've noticed patches on RHEL take longer to release than Ubuntu which take longer than other Linux distros. But I'm not sure OSX is delayed due to rigorous testing.
It could simply be that considering that considering their user base, Apple puts any patches through a much more rigorous testing than a linux distro typically does.
Yeah, I was really pissed when RHEL released a patch for a kernel bug last week and it disabled the phone app on my iPhone. *#$^ing RedHat.
I'd also be very happy if somebody could tell me what GIMP does that Photoshop doesn't. It's free. if it shaves man-hours off my work, then load me up with the tips. I ain't gonna switch, but I ain't above using both.
Programmatically accessible from command line scripts (if you're not hep to the ImageMagick fu):
