$320 for one or a thousand desktops? For one, it's rather expensive, mainly when the software doesn't work and nobody gives a damn.

Ok, so that's why it's OK if it doesn't work! Windows at $35 (OEM) for 5-7 years seems a better alternative though. Red Hat salesmen must be really competent. I certainly couldn't sell one Red Hat copy for sure.
It's not the feature I want. It's the standard feature everybody needs and has been available for years. Whare the hell has the Replace tab gone? Who the hell has removed it? Does anybody know who's making Linux go awry?
As Chrome OS, Android and Meego are about to flood the market, I do believe everyone who thinks flawed software is great anyways is an idiot. You got thisi right.
But that's just me and, of course, I'm a troll. I mean, is there any logic in what I'm saying? Of course, everybody knows if you don't pay, you shouldn't complain about flawed software whose bugs any idiot could identify at first sight. You shouldn't complain about no instructions being provided for uninstalling Nvidia drivers, and so on. You shouldn't complain. As Ballmer explains, when it's free, it's necessarily flawed. You should fill reports on bugs that developers couldn't possibly help escaping.
Once you understand that Google and Intel/Nokia are Linux's future... hum, why not Oracle too? you should just shut your yap, be patient and never complain.
Thanks for your opinion, but I do believe I've heard it once or twice from topmost so-called Linux advocates on this group. Nothing new.

How does Red Hat manages to ask thousand of dollars from companies when Linux's main word processing software doesn't offer such basic functionalities?
Excuse me for trolling with facts -- because anything that's not hip, hip, hurrah is trolling -- but I wonder if I'm not daydreaming wasting my time on the net for something that should exist I'm told everywhere... but doesn't.
First off, Red Hat isn't asking thousands of dollars from companies that are using Linux as a word processor. The entitlement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop is like $320/year or so.

Secondly, Red Hat doesn't charge anything at all (nor could they) for Fedora, which is what you're using -- the free consumer product. Not only are you using a free product, you're using an old version of it.

Facts are never trolling, but attitude is. When you march in here and sort of turn up your nose, snort, and act all disgusted that your free product doesn't offer the feature you want

and make noise like everyone who thinks it's great anyway is an idiot
