John:

Read my lengthy post.  Most, if not all, Linux distributions are FREE.  
If I abandon a distribution because they adopted a desktop that will 
bring in 100 for 1, I really am not going to care why you left.  If it 
were more like 2 to 1 or 4 to 1, I might.  The goal is to capture folks 
who are tired of the claptrap and garbage from our competitors.  We need 
to make Linux as easy, if not easier to use than the other 'junk' out 
there.  That is the goal of the two major desktop projects.  I for one 
applaud their efforts.  Remember they have to work around legal 
requirements that we don't have to deal with.  One day, I will install 
CentOS 6 on one of the Macs that I have here and then continue 
computing, which is what I like doing.
