Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Red Hat has announced a new plan to "simplify enterprise software development and IT by pushing a single Linux-based operating system across enterprise systems, from servers to desktops to single-purpose clients to handhelds and other embedded devices". This plan sounds pretty cool from the outset. What makes me do a double take is the fact that Red Hat is basically also RE-entering the consumer desktop market. Whhaaahhat? Yeah, makes sense I guess but I dont understand why they ever left (are they so big they cant tell what they are going to do from department to department 6 months out?).
