I understand.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not anti-business. Nor am I anti-Microsoft. I've been using their products since ages. And some of them were good.
But their new privacy-policy simply goes too far. For me, a red line has been crossed. And it was Microsoft's well-deliberated choice to do so.
In addition, I realise that the partnership with Microsoft prevents openSUSE to take advantage of a major opportunity to attract new users.
That's a pity for openSUSE. And a disappointment for any competitive marketer.
I really regret it - but under these circumstances it does not make sense for me to further participate in the openSUSE-project.
That was one voice out of many and Antoine expressed his personal view. As you said openSUSE is independent and an issue like this one proves how separated the openSUSE project and SUSE are. I appreciate and value your work and like to see it continued! Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
