They already did the necessary first step in June 2010 when they invested in Mandriva - they already did a necessary step with AltLinux before. Then they (not Mandriva on their own) managed to release a russian Mandriva Edu. As I wrote earlier: the best solution for all (Investor, Mandriva company, users) would be to buy Mandriva in total and put away with the destroyers (aka current Occam successors). Hopefully they don't f**** this up in a SNAFU way. -- wobo
