When a deal is closed, people give their word to it.(signature)
That means, offering better deals after the deal is closed is not done.
That is why you have the first couple of rounds and then a decision is made.

To put it in a different way you might understand, there once was such thing as honour. It was an amazing thing. There was no rule or statue, there was no punishment for not having it, it was an option. The option or opportunity to live a life, and do business with, honour. Now, how is it, that honour is not present?

look at what you wrote and you can understand why it’s not a common thing to show up in the world. Because, you have none and do not choose to live as such.
If you would, that article would never have been written.

Now, you have a way of playing with words. Play with this

If you look at it from this perspective, would you still say Mandriva is unprofessional?

That is, if you are willing and able to look at it this way. And from a different perspective. Most people don’t have the guts to let go of their own opinion to try out a new one.

We shall see from your next reply.

cheers!

By insinuating, but not having the courage to actually accuse Steve Ballmer of doing anything unethical (nevermind not showing any PROOF), Mandriva appears to be a sore loser, horribly unprofessional, and a scary business partner… who is going to trust these your after unsubstantiated rants like this from a chief executive? It is unbecoming. The anger is directed at Microsoft but the direct implication is Mandriva believes their customer is corrupt. Right?
