Michael (gvy), probably you hope to irritate people by your trolling posts. But everybody knows that you're biased and your posts just reflect your frustration from the past where ROSA beat you. Don't look stupid, you're a good engineer but such your behaviour disgraces all the professional field.

I recommend just to stop doing this and rather spend the time to do some technical work for the benefit of the open source world. Believe it or not, we (ROSA) do such technical work and will do without regard to your posts.

Volodya, I'm not aiming to irritate anyone; but those reading your PR should also know the destruction to the free software in Russia and France that PingWinSoft/Rosa have brought during the last few years -- and it's *massive*, way worse than what even Microsoft has achieved to date AFAIK (to those who missed the story: these lamers raided down and then completely devastated the Russian school project rendering tens of thousands of teachers being literally tortured through deeply useless "courses" and "installations" and "reports" without any real on-site help and lasting result -- I don't think that even Leonid Reiman the thief was intending to take it *that* bad; but in Mandriva case he definitely should have known better what he's going to mess with).

It's only slowly cured by real job done but *not* by announcements which are going to continue being accompanied by reminders like this -- even if you choose to misclassify disclosure as trolling.

I know you personally are not evil and hope it will be so in the future. But you chose to go with the wrong people in the first place, I doubt you will be able to fix this bug.

Good luck, and may the next year see more free software and less spam originating from the company you came to lead.

late fix

Michael, I'm really in doubt. I believed you was a smart attacker who tried pursuing your own business goals as a ROSA competitor (well, using black PR methods might be questionable but it's your choice). But now I start thinking that you're a bit crazy, living in your fake illusions (which you personally might truly believe in but which have no relation to the reality). Maybe there is a mix of these two reasons (probably unconscious for you).

Anyway, your behaviour harms open source. Just see what we [ROSA] do in the technical field. I don't claim everything is ideal but don't you see how much we contribute to the FOSS world? Isn't it what matters instead of your insinuations?
