But this is why I am not using a commercial version of Fedora (RHEL),
but a FOSS distribution. And here the relationship differs a lot than
the relationship between non-FOSS vendors and clients, so the Microsoft
/ Windows User relationship does not hold. Is there even a way to report
bugs to Microsoft? At least there is no way to submit patches. And I am
pretty sure that minor bugs usually remain in commercial software,
because the vendor does not care to put money/effort into fixing them.
This also happens in FOSS, but then often patches are accepted.
