I second your opininion. I use it for my pdf needs more and more. I use Sumatra only for local files. PDf.js is used for previewing or online documentation reading. Much more convenient than adobe.

It would be good if they released a Darwin LiveCD again or help people at puredarwin.

GPUs instead. I cannot understand their rush.

For me it would make more sense if they followed the MIPS64 path. But.. its their money.

yes yes yes

Why choose a damned paywall?

where is my RapsberyParallela?

Any for hardware standards? For example a GFX hardware interface? Any hope for an open GiGE like standard for cameras?

Have you heard about Chef?

Drop all special purpose gfx/audio/networking circuits like DSP to make drivers really simple and make them do exactly what they are intended to do gfx-> framebuffer, drive monitors audio -> produce sound, A/D conversion network -> remove dsp functions and use cpu + opencl PCIe cards to do all the math.

Latex can be easy as LyX or TeXMacs (a good laternative for OpenOffice can be Lotus Symphony, I use it instead of LibreOffice on my Opensuse 12.1 x64)

Open source is the real diamond here. It gives a new opportunity for *BSDs and Haiku and Solaris. I can't wait to burn some Knights Corners. Even scientific compilers like Pathscale and Open64 can benefit. Go Intel go.

and having a unified standards compliant driver irrespective of the vendor (like USB)

I hope they support mingw via devkit tdm. Julia tries to use libuv to be cross-platform.

the KDE on Windows distribution of Calligra due to problems launching VBscripts on my XP box. However I installed it and launched from the command line. It is very nice and opened some .docx files.
