Ok so your developing software, and you have a great base to start with. Your going to add some GUI stuff to it. Your going to give users a way to control it without using several hundred command lines. This software will run on Linux, and it will be direct competition with a Microsoft Product. So you get together a team of programmers, and a support staff. You release a start product, and sell the hell out of it. Then it happens.
The next release you put out, is half finished. It has hundreds of bugs. Crashes randomly. Sometimes will not even load. Why? It makes no sense. Whats worse is you don't even tell people of the bugs till they find one or two themselves and contact you freaking out. Then you tell them...
Oh wait don't install that. Wait till Service Pack 1. Omg I can't believe you installed that.It almost sounds like a Cheech & Chong movie Up In Smoke.
But I digress. Why could you not have waited to release it. Don't claim to be different. Then release the same garbage. At least if you do; have a support staff that knows what they are doing. Your only hurting yourself. I can always run the Microsoft Product. At least their support is dependable. Hell if nothing else I can step outside and find a MCSE somewhere, down at Jiffy Lube. Well thats what he said as he was putting oil in my car.
