thanks :)
in fact, the great thing is that we're getting that much wrath whereas a lot of
competitor do the opposite: sell the best version and give away some shity
stuff.
we had 2 possibilities:
- don't update the download version so that no pb occurs, and let everybody
update via MandrakeUpdate
- name the updated-7.2 7.2.1, but marketing people don't accept this.
I think the worse thing is not the small petty difference between the boxed
version vs the download version, but the Desktop/Complete vs PowerPack/Deluxe.
If you buy a box, be *careful* to avoid the Desktop/Complete!
So please stop bothering with this. Start bothering us when the download version
is *worse* than the sold one. And this won't happen! (at least, not unless half
of the developers here get killed first)

i think if you really wanna give money, it's much better done that way as no
money is lost with the making of the boxes (imagine if we could only provide the
download version, no "before christmas" pb anymore, dreaming...)
