If everything in the space is 90%+ similiar can you really answer that question in a general way with technical specifics.. or does it just come down to more qualitative things..more personal decisions. Things like estetics, and the power of the brandname in the marketplace. We keep trying to pick apart the technical specifics that make these projects different and to take those technical specifics and making them compelling to a general audience. Maybe the technical mumbo-jumbo simply isn't compelling to most people. How about we make a general statement what we hope the experience is like and promise to do our best to have each release get closer to what we thing the ideal experience is. > That sums up how I feel, personally. A lot of people, though, are very > interested in the idea of a well-made, no-fee desktop. How do i put this.... Some people need to be violently divorced of the idea that this project is going to magically produce the ideal desktop experience for every computer user on the planet with every release. The development focus of this project is not singularly aimed at the desktop.. so short term gains that seem to benefit some desktop users immediately will be passed over to reach more balanced long term goals. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
