MandrakeSoft Files for Bankruptcy Protection

An anonymous reader writes "It's official: MandrakeSoft has filed a 'declaration de cessation des paiements' - the French equivalent of a U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. From a statement issued by the company: 'This reorganization of liabilities enables MandrakeSoft to continue its current operations, which are showing increases in revenue and significant decreases in expenses. MandrakeSoft's strategic partners are supporting the company in this process and the MandrakeSoft team is focused on continuing to deliver high quality services and products to its customers.' Best wishes to MandrakeSoft as they work through this process."

...and significant decreases in expenses.

We don't have to pay employees smart enough to get off our sinking ship.

Actually, there was a study [google.ca] which showed that Microsoft Support was actually less useful than the Psychic Friends Network. The 17 year old next door is miles above either of those two.

hmmmm

So why does prostitution exist if people can get sex for free?

Have you *seen* the so-called free software women?
