It's vitally important for any software project to get feedback from users if they are not happy about something. It's best if it's worded politely - "it would be really nice if virtualbox could do ...", but that applies for paid-for software too. You certainly don't have the right to *demand* anything, or bad-mouth the software suppliers or developers unless you have paid good money for it (and you seldom have that right even if you *have* paid - you have to exhaust all polite avenues first). Remember, users of free (gratis) software are not charity cases meekly accepting handouts with grovelling thanks - and I don't believe that is what Sun is looking for. Of course, we are all very grateful for to the virtualbox team for the software - part of that gratitude can be shown by feedback that may lead to an even better product. And incidentally, I think Jørgen's post was not a complaint - merely a slightly oddly worded question from a non-native English speaker with a sticky question mark key. mvh., David _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
