I came across this article and as a Fedora user at home and work, I think
this is important to know.
A few weeks ago, there was a discussion about Ubuntu on this list and I
feel that this is part of that discussion.

The Biggest Blunder: Or why Red Hat and Novell just left the door wide open
to Ubuntu
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/102011/index.html
In recent announcements both Red Hat and Novell made it pretty clear that
their foray onto the desktop would be delayed quite a bit longer. What they
do not know is that they just left the door wide open for Ubuntu to conquer
the desktop and the server space.
----/Article link-----
Basically, both Novell and RedHat are backing away from pushing Linux to
the desktop. But Ubuntu is not backing away.
As a Fedora user, I see this as an issue. At home I need games and the
applications that my family use. To date I have not had issues with Fedora
up to 7. When I updated my machines at home, there were applications that I
couldn't get for F8 so I installed F7. I have not checked to see if these
are available for F8 at present. But they were available for the latest
release of Ubuntu.
I am interested in others views on this.
By the way, this article has little to do with Fedora itself.
