I sincerely hope you are correct. I had all sorts of problems with the 2007 KDE One desktop (yes, I submitted bug reports) and they were severe enough that I switched to the Gnome desktop to give 2007.1 a shot. I am quite eager to give 2008 a shot and I hope it works out.

Is it legal to buy Powerpack and transfer the RPM files for Cedega, LinDVD, and Fluendo to a distribution of choice, so long as the files aren't distributed?
=> you mean use mandriva powerpack rpm on your fedora system at home ?
I dislike Mandriva because it's generally too buggy for me: my mouse didn't even work in 2007 final.
=> whaou ! you're unlucky in general, or just specific with mandriva ;-p ...

The Powerpack edition has Cedega, LinDVD (legal DVD player) and Fluendo media codecs (legal audio/video codecs).

I dislike Mandriva because it's generally too buggy for me: my mouse didn't even work in 2007 final. However, I may consider it for the ability to transfer it's goodies onto a different distribution--Fedora in my case.
