“After making a lot of progress with Mandriva Linux 2007, I
thought perhaps Mandriva had turned over a new leaf, and was using
that release as a starting point for an overall better quality
operating environment. I was totally wrong. Both the PowerPack
Edition and Discovery/LX have slid so far back with version 2007.1
that I have serious doubts as to the future of Mandriva’s viability
as a commercial desktop operating system. Though some small but
noticeable bugs were fixed and all of the usual packages have been
upgraded in this new release, so much important functionality has
been removed from it–and new, more serious bugs introduced–that
Mandriva Linux 2007.1 has no hope of competing with other
recently-released desktop operating systems…”
