I was pretty excited by Presto Linux, a version of Linux that effortlessly installs as a dual-boot OS with Windows. It launches in 35 seconds and is speedy to use -- in contrast to Windows 7 taking three minutes, even then is sluggish in comparison.
But like Windows 7RC was a letdown after 7 beta, the shipping version of Presto Linux disappointed customers. The beta was pretty good, just needed a few fixes. The shipping version lost many features found in the beta, and no longer works with my netbook's wireless networking. The biggest loss: no more right-click menu on the desktop for accessing Linux options.
Checking the forums, there is an update patch available, but as other users complained, it is hard to find. Most disturbing was the apology from an employee: he recognized that the patch was hard to find, but was in no position to fix its hiddeness.
An employee of a software company who is not empowered to fix problems faced by customers? That's not a company I want to support.
