Red Hat Desktop Edition

Sivar writes "Red Hat plans to enter the desktop business OS market, The Register reports. Red Hat says that the move is in response to growing frustration with Microsoft which has peaked since the introduction of Microsoft's new licensing scheme. The article states that the desktop offering is due next year and, surprisingly "...the company is considering subscription-based pricing.""

However I'd say win2k is more stable than XP.

XP lacks in the speed department as in the OS itself is too slow.

XP can be secured by knowledgeable users but its not secure by default, viruses, trojans, hacking through scripts in email, or the browser prevent Xp from being secure enough for the casual user.

Ease of use is the main thing linux needs to improve on, until Linux is as easy to use as OSX its not going to beat Windows.

Being just as easy as Windows is not good enough.
