Server rooms around the world disagree. As do smartphones, netbooks and all manner of embedded devices.

"Server Rooms" - as in on-site corporate intranets. The one run by the on-site IT goons - Exchange server, Domain Controller, etc.

I think the term you were looking for is "Data Centers" - the majority of which are mostly *nix.

As for "Embedded Devices" and "Smartphones" - please. Microsoft proudly owns the #5 spot in one of those, and isn't even on the radar for the other.

Outside of tech and telecom, are there any industries that can get away with "reserving the right" to "change the terms of this agreement without notice"

They are not changing anything without notice. They are grandfathering in the old plans, and selling new plans at a new rate.

Crap? Yes, changing the terms? No.

This is so absurdly wrong that I'm doing away with moderating in this discussion to comment. .....

Wait, let me get this straight... You are saying that, over time, wireless networks have not increased capacity over time?

Or now that they have, they will not continue to do so?
