In my experience just because you are paying for support doesn't mean it is gonna get fixed either (unless the one paying is Microsoft or Sony and is providing the lion's share of revenue - bugs they pay to get fixed probably do get fixed, or at least obscured :-). For the sort of thing open source can provide even without actually "fixing" a bug myself, see: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/easy-linux.html
