"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.
