same here, waiting for dual support, or for one or the other to die off, i will not buy a high def DVD player only to find its format be the loser and have to buy another one later, i still have not bought a DVD-+R for my PC or even a DVD player but i will soon since the price has gotten so very low, (i do have one for my television)...
RE:["Base releases are every 6 months. (and some people still complain that it is too slow) LTS releases are every 2 years. (and some people still complain that it is too fast) In the Linux world, no matter what you do, someone will hate you."]
you are right, with some product marketing no matter what you do someone wont like the method, it just seems to me that once every six months would not give developers enough time for bug fixes. oh well, different smokes for different folks...
i am not an ubuntu user, i been using Slackware for years and find Pat's once a year release schedule to be just right, debian has an even slower release schedule...
ubuntu wants to kick a release out the door every 6 months, i think it would be wise to release once a year and no more frequent than that, the rest of the Linux distros & community works at a slower pace than ubuntu wants to run at...
i live about 5 miles outside a small town, my closest neighbor is about a mile away, i had enough of big city life and want no part of civilization other than then occasional trip to the grocery store, so stick that in your rolling papers and smoke it...

for google to do would be wifi internet and cellphone technology, not much else you can do with it unless they want to use some of it for inhouse two way radio, but two way radio would have no payoff so wifi & cellphone would make it worthwhile...
if this anonymous blogger speaks the truth about whom ever he is bad mouthing then that is just tough luck for those being put down, no law against bad news but if he is posting outright lies then he could be liable for slander...
of all the Linux distros out there ubuntu would be the one i would trust the least, i would put more trust in Slackware with a customized rebuilt & hardened kernel & IPtables firewall, and all unnecessary package left out of the picture...
i use Firefox with NoScript for general purpose browsing, and Seamonkey for only trusted websites where i make financial transactions on a Linux powered PC...
i agree, windows is such as vulnerable & fragile mess i refuse to use it anymore, continuing to use windows knowing this is about like refusing to get off the railroad tracks knowing a freight train is coming to run you over...
hate Redhat? no, i can not hate Redhat, Redhat-7.1 was my first taste of Linux, i thought it was the greatest thing since the invention of the lightbulb, or peanutbutter & sliced bread (you get my point), by the time Redhat-7.3 was released i seen Redhat was targeting a different audience than what i was, Redhat seemed more interested in providing a product for businesses (enterprise & corporate desktops & servers), i was just a hobbyist that loved the PC, and grown tired of ms-windows vulnerabilities and other malware shenanigans (basically windows is a dirty racket), so i start hunting for a distro to call home and found Slackware, been a happy slacker ever since = has excellent out of the box development tools making it easy to rebuild & install a customized vanilla kernel & just about any other application i desire to rebuild, makes a great audio/video & graphics desktop/workstation for me, whew! glad i did not have to blow a couple of grand on a Macintosh...

ubuntu is trying to run the latest bleeding edge too much, kde-3.5.8 is still plenty good for several more years...
