Personally I would prefer:

"product=Fedora"

Labeling the installation media, Desktop, Server, etc. Just confuse a noob 
into thinking that they install one thing and they would be limited like they 
would be if they installed a Microsoft product  (ie: Server, Home Editon, 
Professional Edition, Ultimate Edition.)

It's one of the things that I can't stand about Windows and love about Linux. 
With Windows the build denotes limitations of one kind of another. With Linux, 
I get a distro and I can build from it what I want. I want a desktop, I get a 
desktop.... What desktop... my choice.. Gnome, Kde, etc. I choose KDE :). I 
want a server, I install servers. Want both, go ahead. You are installing 
Linux you can do what you want. The "product" is Fedora's Distribution of 
Linux.

I know that nobody will agree... But thats OK... Thats just my 2 cents worth.
