I have fixed numerous bugs since 20070927 was released. What have
you done? I bet there has been _zero_ "quality assurance" done by
you (Frisbee) wrt. Ion3. No, you just throw it in, freeze it, and
call that "quality assurance", and then expect the authors to deal
with the users using the buggy releases that you distribute, and
that the authors themselves have fixed ages ago in their real
quality assurance -- the RC stage. The distros don't even bother
checking whether the software is in "development snapshot" stage
-- the still distribute megafrozen snapshots without prominently
mentioning this.
That's distro "quality assurance" for you.
your software will descend even further into complete irrelevance.
That's quite appropriate, since FOSS has become completely irrelevant
to me. Windows is simply the better OS nowadays.

I'm sorry but I really beg to differ with you. Vista sucks it long
and sucks it hard... I install/personalize that OS on many PCs for
Geek Squad, and I tell you it's really lame...
The fact that one needs to install virus / spyware protection on any
OS.. it's really, really sad. Microsoft is improving their
development / use model, but it still ain't there (poetically). Some
devs (in a different respect) are being egocentric and are making
things shiny instead of usable.
There's a reason why I recommend Macs to new customers :).
