Why not use Windows, then? You pay for it, you get support.

The truth is, that the issue here is not money. Ubuntu is free just as
Kubuntu, so why the preference by Canonical devs?

I do not think that the OP was complaining that _his_issue_ was being
ignored, he was complaining that KDE / Kubuntu specific issues are not
be given proper attention by *buntu developers. He is right. I could
mention five showstopper bugs in Kubuntu 9.04 but the distro will be
released with them anyway. Why? Because the Gnome *buntu varient is
ready, and they want to release them together, even though the KDE
varient has less developers assigned to it. Canonical's product is
Ubuntu and spinoffs such as Kubuntu Xubuntu and others must make their
own strides to keep pace, if that's what they want.
