Admittedly not getting lost/damaged/stolen as much, but I've had two desktops stolen and one damaged in a fire while my laptop never had problems like that, mostly because I carry it with me so I can keep it safe. Not saying you're wrong in general, just that your mileage may vary.

While I am not a big fan of Flash or Silverlight adding support for Linux users is usually a good thing, except this comment scares the hell out of me. "Fortunately, Microsoft released the source code of .NET's new Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) — a critical component of Silverlight — under a highly-permissive open source license. According to de Icaza, Microsoft's DLR can be incorporated into Mono and won't have to be reimplemented." So Mono will have honest to goodness Microsoft code in it. I hope some really bright lawyers from the FSF have looked at this highly-permissive open source license from Microsoft.
