Being reviewed by someone who is using the distro as a personal favourite would 
normally produce a score of 5 for each of the features being tested wouldn't you 
agree  :-)  ? I thought the same as you but after seeing the marks given to each 
feature I felt that the reviewer was trying to be very objective - ?maybe trying 
too hard - and so was being very critical of the bad bits. To me, if what I felt 
is correct, this means that if I am a SuSE fanatic and give it a bad score for a 
feature then I must really be peed-off about that "feature". But then what do I 
know?

Cheers.
