Slashdot Mirror


Apology to Readers, Corel, et al.

Yesterday, I posted a story speculating that Corel might drop WINE in favor of (what isn't really) a competing product. This was a huge mistake on my part, and I hope Corel, Wine developers, and the Slashdot readership in general will accept my apology. Normally on a blooper like this, I'd update the story, but I think this needs to be noticed by everyone who read the original.

  1. Stuff that matters . . who needs the truth by Money__ · · Score: 5
    I would like to thank /. for putting up a retraction after getting a story wrong. This is good to see. Thanks for being up front and honest about the situation. Sometimes fast moving news isn't always firm. I would rather see the fast moving news keep coming (with an ocasional oversite) than see the speed of /. slow down for editorial reasons.

  2. Probably should update as well by Gleef · · Score: 4

    Justin, you probably should put an update on the story as well, perhaps pointing to this one. That way people searching through the archives later won't get confused if they just find the older story.
