FC3 - i'm disapointed

[Kiryl Hakhovich]

Guys,
I must have wrote my original post in a wrong way.

I able to fix issues just fine by my self.
I was expressing my experience over all out all three Fedora Core 
distributions.

And basically what i'm saying is that at current state FC3 - clean 
install os worth that windows.

Please welcome any flames, however....

The entire goal for linux systems like Fedora Core is to compete and 
push away Windows from marked.

So far FC1 and 2 were on the right track.
unfortunately FC3 - will not work for regular not literate people, but 
it should have.
