But this is why I am not using a commercial version of Fedora (RHEL), but a FOSS distribution. And here the relationship differs a lot than the relationship between non-FOSS vendors and clients, so the Microsoft / Windows User relationship does not hold. Is there even a way to report bugs to Microsoft? At least there is no way to submit patches. And I am pretty sure that minor bugs usually remain in commercial software, because the vendor does not care to put money/effort into fixing them. This also happens in FOSS, but then often patches are accepted. Regards Till
