Red Hat Inc. has postponed until January the launch of a new Linux software product for personal computers that would directly compete with Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system. Introduction of the software, which would also compete with Novell Inc's Suse Linux software and would initially be sold in developing countries, had previously been delayed twice. Red Hat Chief Executive Matthew Szulik had said in September that he expected to get the new product on the market by the end of November. Late on Monday, spokeswoman Leigh Day said the company planned to release the software in January, five months after the original target date of August that it had promised customers.

That said, the article clearly lets you know (if you read all the way to the end), that Red Hat is complying with the GPL and that
Exactly. I tried Red Hat and I didn't like it much either.
On the serious side, the problem (not surprisingly) is patent-related
you make that sound as if its impossible , like windows is the only OS that's ever done it , talk about being blinded by corp crap lol
Linux Doesn’t Lack Drivers, it Lacks Complete Drivers

Thanks for the link. Lacking complete drivers means it can't compete with Windows for hardware support since there are complete drivers for thousands of devices for it.

What other OS besides Windows has thousands of games, tons of applications, and more? I don't have any particular love or hate for Microsoft, I just have common sense. Nobody I know will be dumping XP or Vista for whatever Redhat's new product is.
Windows: x86
Linux: x86, ppc, sparc, alpha, s390 and more. Oh, plus much of the hardware that is utilized on those platforms.
Now, please, put those Windows e-penises back in your trowsers. The subject is about the delay due to patent issues that could conflict with releasing media playing abilities.

Myths about Linux.
Well if you've already found FreeBSD you're on the good stuff... why downgrade to Linux
