You're not the only professional software engineer here. I take it that all of your experience in the enterprise arena, where individual customers pay upwards of 6 figures for their licenses, and may not upgrade their mission-critical systems to the latest and greatest for years after it's released? Your broad statements simply do not apply to the consumer software space, much less to open source. - Marc _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
