I think Ubuntu is intended to be the release for the non-inclined/less technical users. 3 - Fedora is not intended to replace Windows on anything and I have yet to see that to be a stated goal for Fedora. While Fedora tries to make things simpler, it's not a primary objective. I think you need to review the 'overview' page for Fedora... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview The primary objective...the first sentence. "Fedora is all about freedom and rapid innovation." Rapid innovation, not making a platform to easily create Windows converts.
