I.m telling it like it is, Guillaume.   Just the facts.   If I am in any 
way wrong about my initial judgement of 9.0, please show me.   Your 
attitude to my gripes only serves to confirm their actuality, which is 
apparently not the news you want to hear.

I have been with the 9.0 beta testing since day one, and with the 
software development process for 39 professional years in three 
countries (USA, Canada, Australia).   My one regret is that Mandrake saw 
fit to rush to release without even bothering to poll its beta testers 
for still-current not yet reported problems.    That's no way to run a 
development operation, is it?

Wasting your time?   Examples, please...

You people obviously need administration of a touch of user-level 
reality sometimes.    I have been one of the few really valuable 
resources to MandrakeSoft, and to other companies, all appreciative, no 
complaints.
