If there is talk about bugs in the Windows backend just now then it is because they are being exposed just now. That seems likely, considering that the first release is fairly recent, and users are getting in touch. > I'm reacting to your trying to pass your obvious *opinion* I really can't help that you read something I do not write.

You answer this yourself in the next sentence: > let's say your statement was really about the impossibility of > estimating Windows usage "at all", I'm glad that you understand what I mean. I'm confused as to why you ask me to clarify something that you already understand though. > download figures You can consider a download to be a report, but keep in mind that I don't. > why on earth did you drag your feet for 2 years I guess I can't do anything about this mad misconception. You know how much time I've estimated to have spent on libusb, and it's confusing that you would call that dragging one's feet. If you think that I'm a liar or incapable of estimating time then that's another matter of course, and then that is what you have to state. > before reluctantly providing a release Another misconception. I'm really thrilled with libusb-1.0.9! //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
