I think it suffers from the fundamental design of assuming that it is a good
idea to near verbetum press the same OS experience into a 8.9" screen as I
use on my 20,1" screen. On a netbook I want one app filling the entire
screen as I use it, there shouldn't be windows to move around.. I mean why?

I recently had a chance to play with an eeePC and the default interface
really impressed me. Clean, organised, roughly, after tasks (not like Ubuntu
MID after application groups - e.g. where does email go.. internet or
office?) and when I use an application my machine is dedicated to it with an
easily visble way to slip back and pick a second fullscreen app.

I would much prefer something like Sugar on my upcoming netbook device to
this approach.

That being said I believe we have a deligent volunteer porting Ubuntu MID to
Fedora, and those efforts are naturally great, there will be people who like
this approach and offering it with Fedora branding and love would maybe help
Fedora serve those people and get us into the netbook market (more so than
Acer Aspire Ones Linpus Fedora based system already does).
