Not much different with Fedora. you have FC versions back to the start 
and RHL versions back in the 6.x era.

But one thing that enables Fedora and Linux users to advance is the OS 
progressively advances without needing to dig into revenue just to 
advance their system performance.

The only thing that I saw to Vista were the commercials put out by MAC. 
I have not purchased an MS OS since the upgrade from windows 3.1 to 
Windows 95. Fortunately, I got to using RHL 5.2 shortly after the W95 
mistake. I did purchase a few RHL 6.x series versions shortly after but 
started downloading the ISOs first with Mandrake 5.x and then with RHL 
6.x later versions.

I find it hard to understands why non-server users would choose to stay 
behind in Linux and some Windows users will waste money leasing software 
which continually puts restraints on them. To each their own choices 
though. You can choose imposed restraint that costs you much money or 
other OS types that allow you to buy other items, even better hardware 
if on a budget as with a business or educational institute.
