I do not understand your comparison with iOS, OS X, Windows, etc.  We
are not in a race with any of them.  We simply want an operating system
that is free (open) and lets us be in control of our computing needs.
See the 4 `f's in <http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora>.  None of
them mention anything about comparisons with other operating systems.
Please do not fall into that hole; if I wanted either of those, I would
use them, not Fedora.
