A pretty strong endorsement for never running any of their software, 
and basing all of your opinion on second-hand experience and word-of-mouth.

But, I'll agree with your point on the other CEOs. Mandrake's new one
is explaining how the previous *US-originated* CEO messed up the company
grooming it for a dot-com IPO too late, and wound up dot-gone. Hopefully
the restructuring can get them into a healthier position.

Yeah. Guess you missed this about Lindows and their CEO:
