USing Fedora gives users like me the advantages of Fedora and the capability to
contribute to the Fedora Project, but virtualization gives me what they may
require for the machine to be a useful (winxp) in the real employment world.

Correct.

I believe this to be incorrect. Please point to the section of the guidelines
that would exclude this meta package.

> please take a look.
I have. Did you notice that this request for review is a meta-package only. It
does not require any non-open source packages, nor any packages outside of the
Fedora world. At all.

I understand that there will be many who don't support the out of Fedora
applications, that this this will make easier to use, but I am yet to see
anything that would stop this package actually being acceptable to Fedora, and
am hence re-opening.
