I in no way meant to cause a flame war by posting the link
to that review.

Do I agree with everything she says, of course not, but she does make 
*some* good points.

Why did I post it:

(1)
to let you know the review was out there, regardless of your personal
opinion of Eugenia OSNews is a fairly popular site read by many and now, 
like i knew it would all along, has been posted on Slashdot.

(2)
it is good to be aware of reviews/criticizms of your product no matter
what you are selling, and regardless of who wrote them.  The key to 
making any product better is by listening to the people that use your
products (or even potential users)...now you can argue that she doesn't                
really use linux and I wouldn't disagree with you, but unfortunatly many 
people do have the same opinions she holds.  

It is pointless to post to this list and complain and trash Eugina...
it is much more productive to read what anyone has to say and see if he/she 
makes a valid point and LOOK for ways to improve your product.  Even if she 
only made one good point out of all of that, and that one opinion helped to 
change one single part of one application for the better it would be worth 
it.

it doesn't matter if the review is "95%" opinion, most reviews are...if it had 
been more favoriable this wouldn't be an issue.  

just my  $0.02
