SoulSe Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 It amazes me that Mandrake are not taking pre-orders for MDK 9.1 box sets. Maybe there is a good reason for it, but one would imagine that a company like Mandrake Soft would be anxious to get money in with all speed. Surely pre-orders of the next release is a great way to do this? I, for one, would pre-order a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I think they only start taking orders when they know whats going to be in the distro/box set. At the moment its still in the RC stage, so exactly what gets shipped is still likely to change. I guess they'll start taking pre-orders when the basic distro is finished.

DragonMage Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 The Download version is still not finished yet, much less the boxed version. If the plan is true that Mandrake-Club members will get access to download version for a few weeks early, then I think the preorder will be available when the download version is available for the Mandrake Club.

ramfree17 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 or maybe they are trying to iron out delivery kinks so the last two pre-order fiasco isnt repeated? ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterspy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 If you read cooker, you would see that they have been tossing out programs like mad. The last cooker apparently took four CD's so they must have tossed out quite a bit. If this is the case, 9.1, in my pessimistic view, will turn into another bust. It just might be that the two morons under him have done it again, assuring him that the real problems lay elsewhere, like getting more orders through the the Club or the store. OTOH, maybe he made them dump what didn't work, but then that would mean that most of the in-house creations would need to go.

Guest NSL1212 Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Speaking of pre-ordering, does anyone have any idea how much is the shipping charge(to Canada)? I am think of pre-ordering the CD-Only PowerPack to support Mandrake (I got my 8.1 from a cheapbtyes-like vendor), but cannot find any information at MandrakeStore.
