I actually use Firefox on Android, and it WILL run on older hardware. Many standard addons work as well. The biggest problem seems to be that a lot of mobile sites are coded with the assumption that the viewer is using Webkit, so on some sites I wind up having a better experience with the full site than the mobile one.

Like Slashdot? The mobile site is terrible...

This proposed law would instantly make Microsoft billions. If done right, companies would have to prove their supplies didn't use pirated products in order to not get sued.

And this right here is the problem. The burden of proof should not be on the company...the burden of proof should be on Microsoft.

Honestly, no. I was so turned off by the problems associated with it when it was first introduced to Ubuntu a few years back that I ripped it out and never looked back, and when I moved to Arch I didn't even consider it. It's kinda like the associations people make with certain kinds of alcohol after a bad hangover: even a look will make them nauseated.
