Entirely made-up garbage. If cyberwar was a real problem, not just a way to transfer money from the public purse to military contractors, no government computer would be running Windows.

Last Debian CD I used (Wheezy) had GNOME 3 and LXDE. I tried GNOME 3, laughed when literally the only button I could find was the off switch, and loaded LXDE.
Debian is planning to do the same (the thread containing approval from relevant people at Ubuntu too), for much the same reasons.
VirtualDub actually supports Wine, fwiw. But yeah, it's that just one app (or two or three).
Anecdote: my work currently has XP, Office 2007 and Lotus Notes. We're looking at replacing Office and Notes with Google Apps

Pick one and get to work! Instead of just saying how cool it would be if someone else did.
I think it's that WMF is in litigation with Internet Brands so is opting not to mention it.
Speaking as a volunteer myself, IB are arseholes, and fuck 'em.

At present, Wikivoyage is running about 500 edits an hour, Wikitravel around 500 edits every 15 hours - most of those being spam and spam cleanup.
I was certainly interested to know that JSTOR was charged with restricting access by the creators of the works. Obviously this is some special definition of the word "creators" I was previously unaware of.
I presume OpenJDK 7 is also vulnerable, since Oracle JDK 7 is basically OpenJDK 7 with some proprietary libraries.
Is OpenJDK 6 vulnerable? It's actually OpenJDK 7 cut down to pass JCK 6. Has anyone tested it?
To buy that thing, one has to order it via Amazon - and fact is that, even today, not many people know how to order stuffs from Amazon.
Well, Ubuntu can help with that! If you search for drivers for your NVidia card, it'll return a link to golf clubs on Amazon.
With the one-click ordering they plan for 13.04, a search for NVidia drivers will see the golf clubs show up at your door the next day. With customer service like that, Canonical will be unstoppable.
(Was there any other major change? I can't think of any)
FAT32 was pretty important at the time.
