We can't compete with Mac or Windows because we don't have a sales force with quotas and we don't have a partnership to ship integrated hardware/software solutions with Fedora. I can't walk into a store and buy a Fedora laptop - I can't even order one from Amazon. Hell, I can't even walk into a store and buy a *RHEL* laptop or order one online! So we want to compete with Ubuntu? Great! Somebody needs to pick up the phone and close a win-win partnership with a hardware vendor to make a Fedora or RHEL or CentOS equivalent to the Dell XPS13. ;-) http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/xps-linux-laptop -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
