I am a scientist and I think I can contribute to these studies. I read many studies done by MS or Apple. But often the reliability of such studies done by these companies suffer from lack of hired mathematicians and theoretical physicists*. One can tell this directly from their scientific publications.

How reliable do you find their publications? _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
