Companies are out to make money by selling a product, whether a service or a tangible item. These products cost the company money to produce and/or maintain. With customers increasing their demand for bandwidth, ISPs and cable providers have to increase their network to meet that demand, which costs a LOT of money. (Gigabit per second internet to about 100,000 homes would cost an estimated half a billion dollars). This money does not grow on trees. Governments cannot afford to make that investment, at least not now, and probably not ever.
Really??? Didn't the government just toss half a billion dollars to a failed solar startup and the tax payers are just supposed to take it? Half a billion is EASILY within the government's power.

I need a predictable, stable system, things should be where I am used to them, not hidden and removed in ways that defy any logic. The minimize/close/maximize window icons will be on the right side of my windows and there will be a normal tree like menu with items where I will find them every time I look there and there will be an icon for every window on the bottom of the screen, period.
And this is why I use Slackware.
Doesn't almost every game start with "gl hf"?
See. Everyone is having fun already (until they get 4-gated).
Yeah, good thing RedHat is still supporting all their releases... Oh
No, but it is possible for some other company to take the source and provide updates or backport patches.
Um...last time I checked there are around 73,357,145,315* companies in the world which will provide support for Micorosoft products.
Yeah, but how many of them could write a patch to fix some low level vulnerability in WinXP without the source code?
In the last beta, they put the same text you would get hovering over a link in a popup that appears in the same position as the old status bar. Aside from some addons that resided in the status bar (now called addon bar), I've been happy with the recent change. Trying to put that text in the location bar just didn't work, and they fixed it.
It's ridiculous to draw such conclusion, and no marketing researcher will simply assume this from two things you like.
Though you can have a lot of fun with the reaction from store clerks if you go and buy condoms and doggy treats. Try it! It really is hilarious.
What you should NOT try is the combination of vaseline, lollypops and condoms. People tend to be hysteric.

Be sure to read the alt-text.
But can it play fullscreen flash video smoothly yet?
Yes. Even on 64-bit.
And this is why I have my mail clients display emails in plain text only.
As for web based email, well they should probably add that setting sometime.
