Hi :) That is what i thought at first but there was a crucial paragraph in there that said the main aim is now to just increase the quality of the product rather than the main aim being to fix this bug.
Personally i have always seen this as a longer-term "wish-list" or "feature request" rather than something being worked on directly. Sure some individuals and organisations have deliberately done work on this but i wasn't here early enough to catch any seriously coordinated work across the whole of the project to fix this bug. The best i've seen was Barry's attachments and game-play. I thought Ubuntu had always been primarily focused on quality of the product and on developing an open friendly community with this bug being one of the inevitable results of that work. So, as far as i'm concerned there are no changes in direction. Maybe things were different before 2008 but i joined then and found the product was far better quality than Windows in all sorts of ways that had really niggled me about Windows. Sure there were a few things that didn't work perfectly, a few apps where i had to leave long-term favs behind and switch to others (which became new favs) and a few stupid games but now i have more fun getting involved and meeting interesting people all over the world (not afk tho). I don't have so much time for games but do have much more fun and still enjoy Wesnoth and others when i get time. Btw i prefer the term "Microsquish". It's less combative and is friendly and cute. Even Windows fanboys seem quite happy with it. It still gets the point across.
