Ok I'm here in the Sillycon (silicon) valley and wondering one thing.
Why is it that RH 8.0 and SuSe 8.1 both of which came out a month or so
after MDK 9.0 have been in the stores for about 3 or 4 weeks .... and
MDK is still nowhere to be found. (Yes I know I can order from Mandrake
Shop that's not my point.) However 8.2 is there and this results in
statements like ("Yes Mandrake is nice but it's always so far behind the
others.") Where as you and I know this isn't true, how can the average
consumer know this when what they see in the boxes is.
Is this a case of McMillan dropping the ball? If so maybe delaying the
next release to the world until the distributors can get their
collective heads out of their nether regions and time the download
version better with the retail version. (It wouldn't hurt MDK's bottom
line to do so either.) It really is frustrating to watch 8.2 just in
time for 9.0 to hit the mirrors. Not to mention what it does to sales.
