RedHat's success is based on knowing who their real customers are: enterprise and government. Enterprise users can't take the risk of using an unsupported solution, so they are ALWAYS willing to pay the relatively reasonable subscription fees. Same applies to government. CentOS plays well with the rest of the world - those willing to risk running an unsupported operating system. RedHat don't care: those guys are not their customer. CentOS and Fedora both are great training grounds and test beds, but it will be cold day in hell before a Fortune 500 CIO bets the farm on either.
The general consensus seems to be that mobile phones are to expensive, have crappy sound quality, invade your privacy / personal time, run out of batteries just when you need them and frequently don't work inside office buildings. Done. I now officially hate that idea.
What about soft phones? Not Skype, which apparently has its own list of issues, but things like Lync? Any thoughts on those?

No. I don't. I've owned a MacPro for years and neither myself nor any of my family have ever been maimed by it. Ah, Europe... the nanny continent.
