The Java desktop is very nice. It won't be $100/year for ever. 
That's why we need to be able to choose. That's how it is.
I don't like it either. Shareholders demand profits from businesses,
and businesses have to deliver them or the business ceases to be.
RedHat are a business and in my opinion have always been clear about that.
You can change distro's. Try buying water from somebody else. Oh oh. 

Out of interest, wht not use a "free" distro like debian, gentoo or 
whatever?
