That's just it, RH Desktop _does_ do what it's customers want... thing is, what is the target audience of RH Desktop? Consumers expect an entirely different set of functionality, and today, Linux is still behind the curb there. The groups that are packaging Linux to target these groups aren't doing a very good job of advertising and educating those users either. They are simply facilitating the kinds of things that made FOSS appealing in the first place, they are continuing to allow users to be locked into proprietary models. Who is that helping? You think users would continue to use AAC (iPOD) or MP3 etc if they knew they do not own that media they just paid $1 for? Apple is currently the largest distributor of music in the world, users can't even share that music with their friends legally. One dollar is a small figure, but how much is Apple making for basically just allowing users to listen? Users do that willingly though, and complain if they're not able to be ripped off in such ways. That is what RedHat is fighting in the consumer space, and why they aren't willing to invest millions trying to appeal to these people. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
