First of all, I should mention that because windows does it or $distro does 
it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.  Rather, it means it's just 
another way of doing it.

Secondly, I should highly agree with Paul Frields here because until I didn't 
get involved in Fedora, I had no idea what a great community it has.  And now, 
I admit that I value the community much much more than the operating system 
itself, and sadly, I didn't realize that until very recently.
