Re: Why would I want Fedora?

While I sit here viewing everyones' responses to this subject about Fedora's
description, I have only few reasons to see the it would not be an "alternative"
to said proprietary operating systems.  Thus far since the eariest stages of GUI driven
Linux;  only gamers, flash developers and like would not see the os as becoming a strong
"alternative os" meaning without emulation.

Fedora is what you make it to be. , nothing more and nothing less.  In short
"It's an OS the allows you to express yourself creatively as an artist as well as
a techie.

Having had a few hours to think, maybe alternative may not be best.

How about;
"Fedora is similar to proprietary operating systems like
  Microsoft Windows and provides an easy and powerful graphical
  environment, office suite, games and more. It is a secure and 
virus-free experience with brand new releases full of major improvements 
every six months all for free (both in terms of cost, and ability to 
change the underlying code to suit your own needs)."

When one says that Fedora is not an alternative to Windows, it doesn't
mean that Fedora is inferior, and thus not yet a suitable alternative.

What we mean is that Fedora doesn't aim to be an alternative to
Windows. Instead, Fedora has clear goals.

If anything, Fedora would be aiming to make Windows an alternative to Linux ;)

also do not mention Fedora as an "alternative OS". May be "Fedora is a 
FREE OS comes with lots of FREE software that allows you to use it at 
will, for daily work, Internet and Email..." Something along this line. 
Hope you get what i meant here.
