1. Comment - Why would Windows 7 customers spend $120 more for BitLocker?

   From an other Vista Ultimate user, I use it because it's the only version to support Subsystem for Unix Applications, and Win7 looks to continue this tradition. Cygwin is okay, but it's an application on top of the OS. I really couldn't careless about the other features, but that one I do care about.
   
   MS should really merge Ultimate into Pro/Business, or come up with a package like five licenses with unlimited VMs of any edition of Windows on any of the five licenses.

2. Comment - If they wanted my workplace to be fashionably decorated, they'd call it the fashionplace

   I've found my favorite environment is when my team has it's own room with the cubes against the walls with the area in the middle open. I like being able to turn around and talk with other people rather then yelling over cube walls, and I like being able to talk with my teammates without other people ease dropping.

   @ ibraiz61: Most people buy computers as a bundled hardware/software package, and anyone who has to worry about a bare install of Windows will have enough sense, and resources, to work around the issue (e.g. FTPing to ftp.mozilla.org or have a copy on a flash drive). In fact the biggest problem with a vanilla Windows install is network drivers, depending on the age of the hardware and OS version, not a web browser at all. Anyway, new PCs are just going to get stuffed with whatever browser crapoid the manufacturer gets paid to push, so people are not going to be without a browser.
   
   And, I'm thinking he's using a bad extension as well. Unless, he's using a nightly build, then he's using a nightly and should expect that.

   You're forgetting ftp is included with Windows. The end users will just have to grab the latest installer from the Opera, Mozilla, Google, MS, or Apple ftp site. Now, Microsoft will just have to include instructions on how to load alternative browsers on a website to complete the Kafka-esque joke. :)

   You have no right to ask for a paycheque from your employer since you get free advertising from the product they produce.
