It does not happen every day that news related to computer technology - news we report on every day - makes its way to the headline news programs and newspapers here in my home country, The Netherlands. So when it does, I am usually on the edge of my seat, simply because it offers an interesting glimpse into how 'normal' people perceive our little world. The last few days, however, that casual interest has made way for something else - tooth gnashing irritation.

i dunno why the compatibility/ back-compatibility thing keeps popping up... applications in linux and windows are handled differently, most applications people use in linux are not binary only and are "free", the sources are available and they get the latest build with a distro upgrade anyway. The commercial apps usually work for a few distro release cycles anyway ( Nero, Realplay,flash ...etc )i dont see what the issue is... if you talk about binary only drivers then thats a different thing... can't we find anything else to whine about ? :->
