Mandriva Spring 2008 The New “Definitive” Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Here’s where I step up on the soap box I have carried around for over a 
| decade and say that Microsoft, upon experiencing Mandriva 2008, should be 
| getting close to shaking in their boots. With the Spring 2008 iteration of 
| Mandriva the Linux community is witnessing probably the closest to a Windows 
| killer the community has yet to see. This is, without a doubt, the finest 
| release of any Linux distribution I have ever experienced in my 10+ years of 
| using Linux.

He says Microsoft should shake in its boots. Well, Microsoft has already found
itself corrupting (bribubg) Nigerian officials to drop a contract with
Mandriva. 

Microsoft failed to do so (it got caught for a change) and it showed what a
Gangster Operation it is in the process.

[Mandriva CEO:] An open letter to Steve Ballmer

| Wow! I’m impressed, Steve! What have you done for these guys to change their
| mind like this? It’s pretty clear to me, and it will be clear to everyone.
| How do you call what you just did Steve, in the place where you live? In my
| place, they give it various names, I’m sure you know them.
|
| Hey Steve, how do you feel looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning?
|
| Of course, I will keep fighting this one and the next one, and the next one.
| You have the money, the power, and maybe we have a different sense of ethics
| you and I, but I believe that hard work, good technology and ethics can win
| too.

Lessons from Africa: How to Kill Your Own FUD

| So, even as Microsoft claims superior quality over Linux, they act as if they
