I think the "profit" issue is not connected to the "vbox-users" mailing list issue. 1. Oracle said they will keep VBox, as a companion to their Enterprise virtualization offerings. (like a demo for the big thing) 2. cutting "vbox-users" mailing list is probably bad management decision. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
