Eating Crow

| Over a year ago adamw and I got into a circular pissing contest, when adamw
| wanted to know why it was that I spoke so glowingly of Ubuntu (version 7.04)
| after having barely installed it and just getting to know the distribution. I
| shot back with a tripe-laden response which brings nothing but embarrassment
| for me these days, especially in light of what I am about to do.
|
| But first, I'd like to publicly apologise to Adam. It's been over a year in
| coming, but Adam, if you're reading this, know that you were right and I was
| wrong.
|
| I've taken actions to back up those words. I've purchased a Mandriva Power
| Pack subscription and I've got the DVD burned and ready to install Mandriva
| 2008 Spring over Ubuntu 8.04.1. In addition to purchasing a Power Pack
| subscription I also purchased the USB key version. I'm waiting for it to
| arrive, hopefully sometime next week.

Another Mandriva 2008.1 rave:
Changing Distros
,----[ Quote ]
| This was the latest Mandriva, 2008.1 and I can recommend it happily. One of
| the issues most distros have with my desktop machine is the wide format
| display, but Mandy found it properly right out of the box. I must admit that
| RPM is a lot easier to deal with than gentoo when it comes to updates, though
| they both have their fans. It could just be that because my first linux
| distro years ago was an old Mandrake, so everything seems easier to me, but
| it really doesn’t get much simpler than this when it comes to doing an
| install.

This is of relevance to reporters who think that a Ubuntu issue is an issue for
Linux as a whole. The yardstick isn't one particular distribution.

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
