You can get the full OEM version for $99 dollars from many places on the
net.

Don't get me wrong. I know it sounds like I am trying to make a case
for MS. I am not. Of all the different "flavors" of Linux I have used
over the past 7 years or so, Red Hat/Fedora is the best IMO. I just
wish that Red Hat did not drop a viable option for a home user/SOHO
user.
