The Mandriva Flash controversy
By now, you should probably have heard about our new product: Mandriva Flash.
However, what you might ignore, is that inside the company this product is surrounded by a lot of controversy.
Some feel it doesn't have a place among the golden Mandriva Discovery/PowerPack/PowerPack+, whose orthodoxy is undisputable and which we should praise like a sacred cow. Other see it as a small product, rushed out by accident while the opposing camp stands that it was eclipsed by the 2007 launch date. Some don't really care about it. These controversies are kind of a common pattern before each product launch: i've almost become used to it. Except, that this time I just don't want to sit down and listen.
In particular, I strongly disagree with Blino's post about it. According to him, Flash would be a key loaded with some piece of software. This is particularly shocking to hear from the main developer of the product!
Don't try to underestimate the Flash: it brings you a lot more than that.
