New features are great, even better more human language support, but why accept a performance hit? Because in such a case transparent and uniform multilanguage support is far more important. You would understand that and withhold your "piss off" comments if you ever tried to work with languages beyond ASCII table. But most americans do not get it, that's what I called arrogance.
Typical arrogant American attitude...

First - you want to have your/var and/tmp to be on separate partitions. Root processes can put various logs, queues and temporary files there - if some runaway print job fills your root - you will not like it. Second - you do want your/home separately. If the system goes down for some reason (not likely - but shit happens - especially if you fuss with it a lot). You reinstall it then remount/home - voila, all your settings, files etc are back. Third - you possibly want your/usr/local separately - you install new software there - you do not want things changing a lot on the root partition. In a work group setting - like we do, we have one dedicated machine that shares/usr/local via nfs for all other machines. So all users have the same current versions of major applications we use (like compilers, IDEs, Maple and so on). Its a tad slow when starting the app (loading it over network) buts that' OK if all are on the same fast subnet. Of course you need separate swap partition
So our default setup for the group is (sure, my personal preference) / - 1 Gig (just in case) /var and/tmp - ~127M, shared/usr/local (about 1.5G stuff there) and the rest of the disk for/home (or yeah - 600M for NT and 200M FAT to share files between NT and Linux, when some bozo sends in Office documents) If you really have a lot of data files, images etc. - then you want a smaller/home, but a big separate partition for your data files - so fsck runs faster on/home.
Disk can have 4 primary partitions. So - WINDOWS - 1 primary, / - 2nd primary then one big extended and the rest as logicals inside it Oh, yeah - do not use disk druid with RedHat. use fdisk.
Well, it also may be due to being russian. But that's obviously not the case;)

- Good support for displaying whatever format Office 2000 spits out. De facto standard of the Word documents is THE major problem with wider adoption of Linux.

It lacks formulas and some other useful doodads now. After XML (an MathML and the likes) support appears in all major browsers we are saved....

Which is also why you won't find me buying Xeon any time in the near future
But isn't Xeon the biggest money maker for
Intel? It looks like people ARE paying, and
that's what AMD bets on.
It's like NT/Linux network benchmarking. Half that would saturate you bandwidth anyway - but people do pay attention.
Being the best and being just good enough is a huge difference in marketing world.
