Because the press has blamed Linux for everything (including things which clearly are not Linux's fault), and they couldn't withstand the public pressure any more. Note that 80% of the users were satisfied with the new desktop, and a further 10% just complained about transient problems.
Wow...I've heard the same stats used against Windows...
I had stuff that crashed every 10 minutes and I paid 10 times as much for it.
There it is...I've been searching for my generation's "walked to school up hill both ways in a snow storm"... now I have it.
It used to be. But the Christian groups seem to have the current government by the balls. And the opposition leader is a fundamentalist as well, so we are fucked either way.
Also, after thinking about it, I can't think that this is any worse than making them stand shoulder to shoulder, knee deep in their own shit in the high density feed lot while they're finished off with corn before processing. The cows might actually prefer this to the high density feed lot.
Actually, our 100 head of dairy cattle voluntarily packed themselves into the holding pin in shin-deep manure twice a day as they waited to get milked. I never once saw a cow just walk 8hrs non stop. They may accumulate 8hrs of movement over 24hrs but that's more wandering and eating than the continuous walking that a treadmill would require.
Now, adding human peddle powered generaters in each workers cube...there's an idea.
