They work hard, and the reason why not every detail that you expect to be dealt with is not met is because Novell also has a limited amount of resources. And in the case of openSuse, it is a mix of Novell developers and outside contributing developers (as in open source), so if you have such disdain for the developers, why not extend it to all of the outside developers who contribute as well? That entire logic is flawed. Novell does not have the luxury of a 50,000-employee company like Microsoft. Balancing priorities is ALWAYS a difficult task and one that inevitably someone loses. Guess in this case, that was you.

Heck, look at where you are posting this very email??? There are Novellians looking in on this list and taking note of what people say. But if you assume everything happens overnight, think again. To use Microsoft as an example, hmmm... they have 50,000 employees and yet take forever in between OS version releases (years not months) 10.3 was released a couple months ago. 11.0 is about to be released around this springtime. > Thanks for your efforts trying to make a difference, Richard, > however please don't let curtains and staged competition fool you. > We don't "try" to make a difference. We ARE making a difference, by participating, by testing out, by reporting, by getting involved in opensuse teams, etc. I participate with the opensuse gnome team.
