@bazang I don’t understand Melih.
I don't think anybody really does. He sees himself as a cybersecurity maverick bucking the security software & services industry. If anyone bothers to read his posts and blog, he is mainly focused upon challenging the industry establishment in provocative ways. His software are just tools to further his ideology. When it comes down to it, espousing his beliefs about all the things that are wrong with the industry is his top priority. His software quality is down at the bottom of the list.
Why not aim for creating a high quality product instead of pushing software that doesn’t even have permanent teams behind it?
What most professionals would do, right? Produce a polished, refined product and have dedicated personnel and systems to support that product.
That has never been Melih's way. He has commented many times in the past that he manages things as he wishes.
You said you’ve lived in Turkey.
Yes.
Comodo reminds me awfully of Vestel.
Ain't that the truth. Vestel is notorious for quality of product and service problems.
However, there are companies with a much greater perfectionistic way of operating - to provide high quality at great value - such as Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) Company - a weapons systems, firearms, and military supplier.
I really don’t understand his mindset, does he not wanna make money? I mean he is making money but does he not wanna make more?
As far as software, IIRC, Melih stated he was not in it for the money. He was in it to challenge the industry because he thinks the industry is highly flawed. So my impression, he is not motivated to produce high quality software and build a security software empire. That goes against his self-stated ideology.
He's already stated to have a net worth exceeding $1 billion USD. Even before he reached that level of net worth, he stated that he was not motivated by money where his pet software projects were concerned. I suppose now making profitable software is even more unappealing to him.
The entire Comodo philosophy is just one very weird way of thinking and running a business.
Employee and contractor turnover is high.
Ultimately, Melih is the software owner and he can do what he wants, how he wants to do it, and when. I am OK with all that and will defend his right to do so except in the case where Comodo software is physically harming or killing people. Only then will I have a problem with it.
As far as the fanbois and fangirlz, I will defend their right to be fanbois and fangirlz.
As far as some critics, they do have the right to criticize, but a particular few have interpretations and beliefs that are hard to take seriously. Nevertheless, if anyone tried to get their right to "cease to exist," then I would defend their rights as well - no matter how extremist their views.
Comodo quality is not relevant to me. I just don't care about any of the issues connected with the software.
