- Well, some people have both Coherent *AND* Linux. Plus, pointing
- out problems isn't bad-mouthing, it's honesty. It also helps. Denying
- them hurts. If you'll read the Linux groups, you'll find people are
- pretty critical of Linux too. The criticism leads to very fast fixes too
- and thus they drive the advancement of the OS.
-
- My idea is to drop Coherent until it gets a major upgrade and then
- see what happens. I support Linux because it is a little better, is very
- rapidly evolving, and has excellent support on the net. I have decided to
- keep Coherent too because I think it has a future if MWC can deliver the
- fixes and upgrades that it has planned.
