Hi Alan, Well, I don't like to sound rude, but may I ask why do I need to wait until 3.6 to see if the issues I have raised are addressed? You know, if you made such a comment inside an automobile company, I don't think you will be able to keep your job for long, especially if you worked on the area of automotive brake control software or airbag control software. I have spend fair amount of time doing compatibility testing of Linux with variety of computer hardware available, and now I am told that my effort doesn't count too much. I know many in the Linux community hate Microsoft, but Microsoft has gotten their USB/ACPI areas right since Windows 2000. It seems like Linux after more than 10 years of lack of quality control with regard to USB/ACPI areas is where Microsoft was with Windows 95 OSR2/Windows 98 when it comes to USB/ACPI reliability. How many years do you guys have to spend to get USB/ACPI right? Alan, do you take any pride in the software you write or maintain? I have developed PCI DMA engine/industry grade PCI interface (It has never passed PCI-SIG testing, but it probably will if I had the money to go get it tested and certified.) in the past, and as a hardware guy, I am sometimes surprised to see the casual attitude towards bugs or crashes software/firmware people have. People may hate Microsoft or Bill Gates all they want to (I am not a Microsoft fan either.), but when it comes to device driver quality, I hate to say that Microsoft is years ahead of Linux. When will anyone take responsibility here?
