Exactly... Red Hat too could piss away money... but you see, the are trying to make money, not lose it. My point was that Red Hat's point was valid... that no one has really made any money selling Desktop Linux because the market isn't ready yet... and that until someone does (the example I gave was the seeming contenter Ubuntu/Canonical) it looks like Desktop Linux as a commercial product... isn't doable. Desktop Linux as a free product, now that has been doable for a long, long time now.

My point was that > Red Hat's point was valid... that no one has really made any > money selling Desktop Linux because the market isn't ready yet I think this is a misrepresentation or misunderstanding of what Red Hat's blog post said. It was business sustainability reasons for Red Hat to choose not to create a "traditional desktop product for the consumer market". The blog post said nothing about linux desktop being "not ready yet".
