I would say that for the consumer market place, Windows probably continues to be the right product line

RH is really burning their bridges...
Xeen:
WOW. Well, I must say that I totally agree in that Linux needs to mature before it can become as dominant as Windows. However, I'm shocked that these words would come out of RH CEO's mouth and that he, the CEO of a Linux company, would tell people to use Windows.
The only explanation I can come up with is Bill Gates started practicing witchcraft and decided to possess the guy.
Either way, I"m sure Billy boy is having a nice laugh right now...

Actually, I almost agree with RH CEO, except that the right product for consumers is Mac OS X, not Windows.

I wouldn't want that to happen. Not because you can't run existing programs for windows on a MAC. OSX is a good OS and the G5 is a good processor but:
It only works on one type of computer. Fair enough (since windows only works on PC's) but you have to get a PC made by Apple.
Macs are ridiculously expensive (compared to PC's of the same speed)
They lie about how their G5 is faster than a similar processor for a PC. A bit like when MS says windows is more secure than linux.
I'd rather everyone used windows insted of MAC's. Hell apple even make billy g seem like a nice guy.

I concur with some of what you say except about the part where you would rather have evryone use windows. I hope a true monopoly never occurs.
