Actually, the bigest problems we had were exactly 6.1 -> 6.5 like
stuff. Following both packaging schema we used and the one McMillan used
was a big headache for all (at least for me). And having two products
from the same company (Mandrakesoft), allmost the same thing inside, but
sold under two names and by two different companies
(Mandrakesoft<->MacMillan) is complete nonsence.
New deal sounds much better to me.
