I *really* don't like this idea. Problem is, I go and download Fedora 
and end up with say KDE and I love it. I tell my friend to go and 
download it, and they end up with GNOME. I'm trying to help them but our 
systems are totally different and we don't know enough to understand 
what is going on.

The Fedora Desktop == GNOME. There is far more to this than flipping a 
coin. You're going to have a better experience if you use GNOME as a 
newbie because it has an exponentially larger number of maintainers and 
folks able to help with it. (Not to mention its philosophy of less 
clutter but I really don't want to get into that on this list)

I think a call-out box to highlight various spins on the get Fedora page 
is fine and I do believe that was even in some of the mockups. The KDE 
spin could certainly be in that rotation.
