Maybe because they didn't planned to have this uproar ? You know, it was discovered this morning. And nobody at mandrake send the pages to osnews. Maybe it was planned to be announced today, or it was a accident. We will never know, but i am sure that mandrake did nothing to actively show this to the world, _precisely_ because they didn't want this to be know right now. They cannot react as fast as people can discuss, on this liste or on slashdot. You know, before talking to everybody, you should carefully think about what you will say and this is exactly what they did. I think that the speed of today information didn't ameliorate the situation... -- Mickaël Scherer
