I am absolutely okay with fedora having less users than MacOS and Windows,
Nor do i think Fedora with its rate of change and leading edge focus
is it a good fit for a vast majority of users of those other operating
systems.  Talking about fedora in this as a competition for number of
users compared to any other operating system whether it be a linux
distribution or not.. is absolutely the wrong way to go about it.

I think the linux curious have enough information to read on the main
website. I don't think they need aggressive encouragement.
