You twit Bob has learned to type?

It is 1.4, not 4.1 (and it's rubbish
http://www.voipnews.com.au/content/view/1519/159/ ). While the company
treats GNU/Linux as a second-class citizen, other programs are worth
considering. Even Nero has recently learned its lesson and brought its Linux
port to the point of Win32 feature parity.

No doubt about that at all. What's more, they will soon find out
their Linux releases can be modified and new features added quicker,
and released more frequently, and that they get less tech support issues
than with windopz products. While the windopz product development teams
borrow ever more time and resources to produce ever fewer
features. Then eventually their dumb management is going to have to
look at holding back the Linux release so that their
windummy versions can catch up.

They have? Perhaps you ought to let Nero know this because they seem
to think otherwise.

Their Linux product "NeroLinux" appears to be a stripped down version
of Nero Burning ROM that's available for Windows. Looking at it's
features I don't see anything that k3b doesn't already do.

Buy you think this stripped down product has feature parity with their
Win32 product which ships with the following apps:

(The Linux offering is about 1/3rd of the way down the list - "Nero
Burning ROM 7" except that all of the advanced features are missing in
the Linux version.)

So you can read, that's great, you twit.

<snip list>

That's probably not a bad thing, leaving out all that stuff. Better just
to concentrate on providing a solid burning app. Though they'll have to go
some way to beat K3b at its own game.

Any chance you fine fellows could leave comp.lang.c off the crosspost
list for this discussion? Thanks. (Followups set.)
