I was intending to see Casino Royale at the movies, yesterday: but instead went to the 6:30pm showing of the Departed, because I grew up in Boston. I'll get around to seeing Casino Royale eventually: but the Departed is a great movie about the true hidden truth of life in Boston. Obviously Jack Nickolson portrays South Boston gangster " Whitey " Bulger who is still a wanted man clearly being hidden by his F.B.I. contacts.
The star studded cast of this movie did a great job portraying the intrigue of Boston's underworld while altering a few facts. Just a small opinion from another hard-headed Bostonian.

RiscOS was in the movie Copycat and that was a while ago. I don't think absent Windows in movies is new.

The Departed was a fantastic film, best of the year in my opinion. It makes me want to see the original Infernal Affairs.
I think in Jurrassic Park they were using SGI Irix. Someone mentioned 24 there - in one of the earlier episodes they had a KDE desktop running in a Prison Facility they were in which was cool. They seem to run a crazy proprietary system in 24 that could run on Dells and PPC Macs, but it seems to be strongly Unix oriented.

BigTomRodney,
I also think that " The Boondock Saints " is another great movie. Check it out, if you can!

I saw OpenSSH (it actually said the name, and the version) on a terminal on Alias.

It must be a fairly quick and cheap way to produce an on screen 'computer look' for techie scenes. Free software! Gives things an authentic feel too ... I like interesting details in films.
