They do seem interesting, but they seem to be, well, toys, more for coolness and fun than anything else. I was thinking more along the lines of sites like this:

Re: OT: Is Bill Gates the Anti-Christ?
Here's what seems a related topic Reuters Link. What I thought interesting was that towards the end of the article they recommend running a mix of systems at a company or agency. How are they going to be able to do that and still use this personal encryption thingy that you can only get from MS mentioned in the original article? Sounds like some kind of Catch-22. But then again this topic started off outside my area of expertise and kept going. Still, I am appreciating the insight and devirsity of responses.

Re: OT: Is Bill Gates the Anti-Christ?
I could see a mix of systems working out. Maybe Linux running all the server boxes and WinXP for desktops, and maybe another lite distro of Linux for "appliances" as I would call them (file server kinda things, like the guy who made a giant 1.2 TB firewire drive)

If you want tweaks, then you play with toys. If you want hard core mods, then learn to like the registry.
