I don't work for or speak for Red Hat.

It's like the difference between watching Germany lose at football, and
playing football. In the former case you pay money for and it may or may
not do what you want, in the latter case you are part of making something
happen.

I'd suggest you look at the EU FLOSS studies - everything from 'saving me
cash' through 'because I enjoy it' to 'making the world a better place'
with a lot of other things on the side.

Oh yes - like the iphone where they don't allow users to install software
they want ?

So stop just believing and start doing. Ranting on email lists rarely
changes the world. Fedora is a project - so like the football team, if
you think you can do better, stop whining from the touch line and start
playing - and if you don't like the club you can start your own or join
another one.

As I said I don't work for Red Hat. I don't work on any Red Hat product
either.

You seem to be very confused about what Fedora is. The Fedora mission
statement isn't 'blow Microsoft out of the water' nor is it 'world
domination' nor 'end user product'. If that is what you are looking for
you are - as you've been told many times - in the wrong place.
