Even Apple is getting it wrong.

OS X DELIVERS TREATS AND TRICKS   
  
TODAY'S TOP STORY   
Apple's Mac OS X is experiencing a spate of trials as a potential 
refund, data-loss concerns, and security questions cast a shadow on the 
operating system. A judge gave preliminary support to a settlement that
would allow some owners of the OS to receive a refund, and a problem
with the
new version of the OS can cause the loss of data stored on external hard
drives.

Oh, Mandrake will, no doubt about it.   Whether it's deserved or not is 
another thing.  Hell of a way to announce it though.

The only thing I can think of is that there is more to this than just a 
patched kernel which has already been released. Gael's post hints as
much.  
And that's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what else is 
holding it up.  My sincerest hope is that the surprise that's hinted at
is a 
good one and will make a nice Christmas or New Years gift.

Sadly, posts like that feed the rumour mill of the ignorant, the author
of 
that article springs to mind, and result in very little but bad
publicity.  
In fact the hold up itself will hence my probable need to migrate a
system or 
two I support from MDK to something else if it gets too bad.  These
people 
are serious, nervous newbies who are betting their small businesses on
Linux 
in general and MDK in particular.

Personally, I'll stick with it.  Professionally may be something I have
little 
or no control over.

Oh, and I'll bet that competing distros and the Evil Empire will be
making hay 
on this one, too.
