Since you mention Mr. Jobs, you might consider what would have happened at Apple had the release of, say OS X 10.4, looked and acted like the first OpenSuSE release with kde 4.
It appears to me we agree, except that I can understand the comment of one of the suse developers early in the discussion that "if you don't push it out there, no one will use it and you'll never find out what the problems are", or words to that effect. I think it worked. [...]
That's the M$ method - call it a release and push it out so that users can beta test it for you...
;-)
Oh, but I forgot one important difference - with M$ users actually pay for the privilege of being the beta testers... -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
