Well,I think that my post started some c ontroversy (or my post was controversal).
I think the question is: "what is the audience for Fedora Desktop?".
* Is it "Mrs. Smith", who may use WinXP - or even Win98 - currently ("Mrs. Smith" was a term used by Bill Gates almost 15 years ago when he claimed that ""Mrs. Smith has no need to access the Internet". Soon after Microsoft included Internet Explorer in Windows! You have an opinion untill you get another!)
* Or is it somewhat experienced computer users now using another platform (Windows, Ubuntu)
* Or is it *developers*. If so what does that exactly mean?
I think you have to distinguish *consumers* (accessing content) and *producers* (contributing content) rather than using th term *developer*..I don't think any Linux distro or the Linux community as such grapped that difference really. *consumers* (what is 80-90% of current computer users) don't need a PC/a full-fledged computer. A tablet or a smartphone is the ideal solution for them. I only see some understanding of this in the "Enlightenment" desktop environment for Linux (but still very buggy). Anyone not biased should check the Win10 preview - it may very well change how computers are used by 95% of current computer users. It is "Windows as a serviee" and as such a much more aggressive approach to current challenges to the use of computers than Apple ever did it. It could very well be a revolution. And if you don't agree it doesn't really matter - you will be wiped away if it happens.
