I bought 8.2 powerpack, partly because of that and partly because I felt the urge. It's funny because I dont even use it anymore. It has served some use though, I have burned a few copies for friends.

MandrakeSoft's Future.
Despite the financial challenges of maintaining a fully open
source business model, MandrakeSoft has always followed the Free
Software approach, and will continue to do so. After strenuous
efforts 
over the past 12 months, MandrakeSoft's business model is more solid 
than ever with a number of new announcements and exciting 
developments on the horizon. But while the medium and long-term 
prospects for the company are very good, we are experiencing
short-term 
cash-flow difficulties which are impacting the progress of the
upcoming 
release.
