They managed to get themselves into the position where they were percieved as being Linux, rather than just one of many providers. At that point they then dropped support for all of the customers that got them to that point. They pulled an Atari, an Amiga or a BeOS. They give the impression that Linux can be subject to the same abandonware problems as any commercial product.

That's a feeling that many of us thought we'd never have to experience again.
