3:57 PM EDT 		Red Hat is trying to leverage its lucrative server business to gain a bit of the not-so-lucrative desktop market with the reason being that it must counter Ubuntu's leveraging of its own not-so-lucrative desktop market to gain a potentially lucrative server business.

In other words, if Ubuntu can use its popularity on the desktop to drive server revenue, Red Hat better have its own desktop strategy to keep current customers in the Red Hat fold. And Fedora doesn't cut it in the enterprise, where long-term support is the rule.

That's my theory, anyway.
