Web browsers and ftp clients are not targetted by big companies that have billions $ to sue small companies like us. Web browsers and ftp clients were not created to piracy music like was Napster. And don't try to say that 99,999999999% of people who use Napster or Gnutella like softwares don't use them to piracy music or video, you will be ridiculous. I'm sorry for you but if you are not happy, it is the same thing. We can't take the risk to be destroyed for such things. We work to hard to push Linux on as many computers as possible to see all our work destroyed for such things. If you want to use Napster or Gnutella like softwares, download them from their home sites but don't ask to see them in Mandrake Linux. -- David BAUDENS MandrakeSoft - http://www.mandrakesoft.com
