</div>Playing with analogies seems fun (as long as they are not car analogies<br>
:D), let me try to play along: your little food shop is the main income<br>
source for your family and people in your family come to you saying: we<br>
live in a health conscious neighborhood, if you continue selling<br>
hamburgers nobody will buy it and you will go bankrupt, go for salads<br>
instead. Of course you can hold on your idea, hoping the cheap, greasy<br>
food will find enough customers (I don't know, maybe truckers passing<br>
by, but no loyal, returning customers) but your decision will have<br>
effects over your entire family (remember, it was their main income<br>
source), so probably having an agreement may be wise.<br>
<br>
Or we can talk about your cute little neighborhood bakery selling pies,<br>
cakes, and cookies. Supposedly a big chain opened a fast-food across the<br>
street and is selling in droves. Jealous of their profitability and<br>
wanting more money and customers, your decide to change your business<br>
and go also fast-food. Your existing, loyal, returning customers, who<br>
became your friends, tell you they don't like fast-food, they come to<br>
your shop for the quality and the atmosphere and also point there is no<br>
much sense in having two fast-food shops so close to each other. Sure,<br>
you can try and go for profit alone, you can stay only with your friends<br>
or you can try to find a middle ground.<br>

<br>Also, I thought the Fedora Project was geared toward power users. This is half of the reason that I use Fedora over Ubuntu. If I wanted my hand held, I would use Ubuntu or Windows. Furthermore, I don't think you can really expect a near bleeding edge operating system to cater to the same audience as Ubuntu. These are, of course, my humble opinions, respectfully submitted.<br>
