Yes it is a new release and there will be problems. But these problems has a less chance to be fixed if everyone takes this 'DON'T COMPLAIN' attitude. I have worked in Unix/Linux support and production environments since 1991. You know to fix things by letting people tell you what the problems are. Yes, FC4 has some nice new things, but they also broke things that were not brokeng before. Example: video in X, Sound Events, ...etc These things worked fine in FC2. Sound Events were however broken in FC3 and not fixed in FC4. Thus, some things have regressed since FC2. Now I have read talk about upcomming FC5. This is begining to sound too much like 'Redmond' rushing releases out too soon (I hope I'm wrong on this). I would rather see FC4.1, FC4.2, etc.. until things are fixed instead of hearing talk of an upcomming FC5. If things continue to be release in the current fashion it could discourage people from using it. That would not be good.
