"Red Hat's chief executive has said that Linux needs to mature further 
before home users will get a positive experience from the operating 
system, saying they should choose Windows instead."-- OSNews

Here's the original article from zdnet in the UK:

"Matthew Szulik, chief executive of Linux vendor Red Hat, said on Monday 
that although Linux is capable of exceeding expectations for corporate 
users, home users should stick with Windows: "I would say that for the 
consumer market place, Windows probably continues to be the right 
product line," he said. "I would argue that from the device-driver 
standpoint and perhaps some of the other traditional functionality, for 
that classic consumer purchaser, it is my view that (Linux) technology 
needs to mature a little bit more."

Not happy with abandoning their own desktop users, Red Hat screws it up 
for the rest of the other distros.
