Hmmm, then why are all those boxes running windows?

A better question would be whether it is to promote what you happen to 
have, or to learn what users would like to have.  There are a lot of 
things that could be better in a distribution simply by combining 
features that are already available in upstream packages.  For example, 
fedora ships an LDAP server and has the capability of using one for user 
authentication, but no one does - and the value of doing it isn't 
obvious until you install your second box.  Why couldn't these be 
shipped to work together and be the default way to manage users even on 
a single box?
