Google Chrome, do it, and do well! And its free. You need only to install a plugin in Chrome. You can also, use Google Hangout, which has some sharing facilities. All is free and works.

You are correct. Its not free. I was only talking about that costs rise in part because people live more.

- People are living more, with free Health System
- Drugs are becoming more expensive with the Free Prices System
Or ask to people die early
Or change the medicines used, some new drugs are expensive and dont offer really advantages, some are also worst then the previous used.

In the future autonomous cars could be Default

I really don't like comparisons Country vs Country, there is no sense in this. How you will compare a Big Country with a small Country? How you will compare a more homogeneous culture with a very diversity culture? Comparison is only useful, when you see something that you never know, or something that you want, regardless where come from.

He steel your work. Yes, could be a headache, find an attorney and so on. But, left behind, will only stimulate these kind of action. In your situation, I will find an attorney that accept this case to receive the payment for the damages. Or Better, call the Company, and advise then.

Funny, In which planet theses decisions are made based in pure Logic?
First, Windows are good for People and Companies that did support.
These people influence theirs users, they really did FUD.
I found many of that people working in Public and Private environment.
For example, I work in a public University in Brazil, some years ago I migrate all Office PC of my Department to Linux.
Result: Fall support calls. No Need to new Machines. Fast Machines.

Many departments after recurring problems with theirs machines,
(slowing, go to reinstal, return to work, get slow, go to reinstal),
start to thinking that they need a new machine.

They bought and left machines like Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM,
which I get to my Department. Only in these month I got 4 PC.
Theres tens going to the trash that are perfect to work.
Sometimes when I go to another Department to get a PC left to go, I express my concerns
and show how fast are the computer that they throwing by using a USB with Linux.
Then I suggest to migrate. All that I migrate are totally satisfied.

Then you could ask, why there is not a large migration ?
Simple answer: Laziness of some IT people and their managers.

Brazil its not top 5 Apple (expensive) market, but are in Top 5 in global mobile market. :)

Good Answer

After reading the comments, I found that the more happiness buyers was who bought to young people (girls mostly). I anyway is nice to see that people are looking solutions that fits theirs need not only the common used OS (Win/Apple).

Well, some Galatic event will occurs, the only way you could survive is to you think that exist live after death in some different way.

Theres some options, like VNC, Skype, theres a Plugin in pidgin (not sure). But, my option to do same of you want, is Hangout and TeamViewer. Simple and Easy, and free for not comercial use. :)

I agree, Unity is a mess at now, and Gnome 3 and Shell has many things that I really does not understand they change something that evolve in years to a good standard (like Printer Setup) and create a new one that you cant define the default paper size, and so on (keyboard, nautilus, ...). I found that girls like Unity, because its more beautiful than Mate(Gnome2 fork), Cinnamon and GnomeShell. My conclusion is limited to my limited users test (Some Friends, my Girlfriend and Sisters). At work (University), my Linux users was using Gnome2, and I just update to LinuxMint Mate 13, to get (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS inside), after the upgrade they have the same theme, everything working like was. period. For some new Linux users at work (migrate from WindowsXP), I choose to install Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome-Panel (Fallback), after some tweaks (install the old printer setup). I had only one friend using GnomeShell, because he use Fedora, but with many extension, to get mostly what we have in Gnome2. In my notebook I am using Gnome3 fallback, but I will migrate to MATE, because the reason which you say "performance".

if something you need to explain you started wrong. Good things are natural, does not need to be explained. Yes, may be you not need to hear users, because they are many different kind of users, but if you build something really new, you need a very good taste. I never see someone complain about iPad interface, I hear about OSX file manager and globalmenu. But Gnome3 is a mess.
