Some people say this because they think that pushing home users to Linux too
soon will be bad for Linux: one bad experience and they'll never be back.
They are holding Linux back to help it (in their opinion).

Isn't that why Red Hat is saying it?  Or is there some commercial angle that
I'm not seeing?  Some reason why they don't want Linux to succeed on the
desktop?
