Some communities weren't large enough to get isps to come out and lay infrastructure. Being that the church was typically at the centre, these churches found a community project in setting up these mini wisps. The ones I heard of were selling more or less at cost, to locals only. I presume they are still like that, but don't know for sure.

Yea, but as you can see, it's really just a browser added ontop. When they made xp, it was so deeply rooted it was silly. Windows explorer panels used it, I think the help reader application (remember that?) was completely re-written on it. Anything that didn't look like a standard dialog from 2k or before, used the web engine for the UI. Hell you could even set the desktop to a webpage.

It was ahead of its time, but in a bad way.

You could say I am a bit of a copy/paste expert..

I sometimes feel like I go all the way around. I find a fix for a problem that says: just copy and paste this. I then spend 3 hours or more reading and trying to understand the snippet, or do it directly. Then I realise the fix is to just copy and paste that original snippet.

I guess at least I now understand why everyone just does that for that problem.

In terms of user content this would be correct. However when it comes to games on the platform valve does do curation to ensure games run etc. I don't know if it has been tested, but that curation could exclude them from the protection. If that was the case they could be directly sued for copyright infringement.
