It's not recurring in that you don't have to agree to automatic repeat billing until you cancel or agree a minimum subscription term or indeed every pay it again.

Who needs a windows server? You can host ASP.NET apps in Apache. Visual Studio 2005+ comes with a lightweight testing web server that runs ASP.NET. (I expect the free Visual Studio does too but I don't know for sure.) And if you must have IIS then XP Pro comes with IIS (albeit with connection limits) as does Vista Business or better.

SQL Server Reporting Services is almost entirely .NET. SQL Servers 2005+ have .NET components. Visual Studio has .NET components. The newer Microsoft Dynamics apps. PowerShell, if that counts, is also entirely .NET. As the other guy said TFS - I don't know about SharePoint.

Most of Microsoft's stuff is not new products, they continue to develop existing lines like Office or Exchange. There are huge legacy codebases behind those - it doesn't make sense to go back and port them to .NET. New stuff they write in .NET - there just isn't that much high profile that's entirely new.

I agree with you on the iPhone connector, though in fairness many recent cars have Bluetooth-capable CD players or a CD player with mp3 support so the onboard computer *is* here.

No, that's bugzilla.mozilla.org. The linked bugzilla.kernel.org appears to be down to all traffic.
