I have bought my a copy of Mandrake (9.1) and will do the same for the upcoming 9.2...too bad more people would not do the same.

Funny how this "shooting in the foot" turned out to be a fast way out of chapter 11. Other companies stayed in Ch11 for years, Mandrake will (hopefully) be out within a year. Is that "shooting in the foot"? Of course, there have been things and acts where we just ask: Why on earth are they doing this? But for me the overall results are what counts here, not the 'if' and 'should'. And one more point: All these actions (ore non-actions) during the last 7 months must be regarded through the rules of the french chapter 11. MandrakeSoft is under observation. This goes as far that all investments, all credit attempts and contracts, all payments, undergo examination by a court appointed accountant. Sure this slows down actions and even prevents actions. If the accountant says 'No', then you can't do what you'd do otherwise. MandrakeSoft as a company is far from being perfect and the same goes for the management. But I am sure they'll make it and I'd bet my money on them (in fact, all of the contributors and donators do). wobo
