A couple of weeks ago, Red Hat said that it would shift some focus to the
desktop side (not Fedora). Let me see if I can quickly find this...
Hmmm... I think I overlook a better and more detailed article, but here's a

Red Hat seems to be keeping low profile, probably for strategic reasons (just
like Palm that announced a move to Linux in 2005 and then 'disappeared',
until recently). VAR Guy suggests there's something going on indeed, and an
announcement on its way.
