Hello, all - OK, I've gone over the CNN article. About a 1/2 dozen times. Dyroff's sanity needs be called into question. Anyone - ANYONE - releasing a top-of-the-line product, and then claiming it's not able to compete in a given market is shooting themselves in the foot... to say nothing of their employees, who create - often painstakingly - that product. As a businessperson, programmer, and consultant, i have to think twice about tossing support behind SuSE. Until now, i've been a staunch supporter. I like the product. It's the most comprehensive distro on the market. It'll do for damned near any purpose conceivable. But CEO's like Dyroff have a tendency to sabotage such good efforts. Who the hell is he working for - M$??? Or Caldera?? Articles like this are a slap in the face to people who are actively promoting SuSE Linux. I'm sure the companies who are investing huge sums of cash to support the Linux effort don't like it much either. I dare Dyroff to tell IBM, Intel and a few other major league players that Linux isn't ready for the desktop market. He'll have a great many people to answer to if he does. Right now, he's not much credit to the company that pays him. Alpha <STRONG>attached mail follows:</STRONG><HR> OK, I've gone over the CNN article. About a 1/2 dozen times.
