Although I am a Mageia advocate by my own choice I'd like to correct this:
Mandriva did not say they will ignore the desktop. They just shut down
desktop distribution development in Europe and will open/renew it in
Brazil. As to Mandriva's statements the next release of the desktop
distribution 2011.0 is planned for 2nd quarter of 2011.

Whether they will really release by then, whether the quality will be
the same as before, this is in the future and nobody can tell.
