  Red Hat Shuns 'Windows Clone' Model for Global Desktop
Time: 13:47 EST/18:47 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein

"Our enterprise desktop has some 1,500 applications, so we stripped this down to about 700 by getting rid of a lot of things like developer tools and compilers, which helped reduce the hardware requirements for the system," Gerry Riveros, head of Red Hat client solutions marketing, said at a press conference here at the company's annual summit. The product initially will be targeted at small businesses and governments in emerging countries, a market that partner Intel and its associates knows very well, Riveros said. While the desktop is not another "Windows clone, it is also not a new desktop environment as it is based on RHEL Desktop 5. The key for us was getting the feature set these customers wanted, and then getting it into the channel for distribution," he said.
