Lets review what I originally said:

"Sadly enough, most people use computers to consume and not produce,
and out of those who do produce, a large majority only needs a
browser."

... and then:

"Most people (both at home and at work) only use the computer to
exchange text information (E.g. mails, documents, accounting
information, fill forms, etc) and light multimedia files - in which
case, the move toward web-based-only-software is -well- under way."

Now, in my view, produce *isn't* limited to content production (as in
multimedia, code), but also includes text based production (which
includes lawyers, accountants, insurance, etc) that are already being
moved to web-base software.

Now, we can spend the next 500 messages arguing if an accountant is
considered "production" or "consumption" (in which case, Good luck and
God speed), or we can return the original context of this thread:
Where does the computing world move and how does Fedora fit in? (1.
Web-based-software and mobile platforms; 2. [In my view:] Catering for
the needs for the remaining desktop users).
