I'm currently using Ubuntu and moved away from Fedora – the reason is that Fedora development seems to be more concentrated on developing the Operating System and less on the application and user friendliness, I use my computer to do some work and care less about using the latest Linux Kernel, but would love the advantages of using the latest Office application or other productive packages.

The latest Linux kernel fixation is only good if you use the latest hardware, and with that I mean hours after it hit the market. The Linux kernel used in Ubuntu supports everything on the market today, even Ubuntu supported USB 3.0 before USB 3.0 was even on the market... The newer kernels used by Fedora are often for stuff that is not even commercial available.

I see it as having sport tyres on your car which are good for doing upto 300km/h, while the car is mechanical only capable of doing 160km/h downhill... With other words, for the people who are not working in the automotive sector – completely waist of money and time... USELESS...

When I was using Fedora – I tried to get the latest Open Office, the latest Mplayer and other media players and media Codecs... added a few more repro's to get up-to-date Nvidia drivers and before I know it I messed up my dependencies... Thinking back I cannot remember how many times I loose a afternoon to fixing my Fedora installation...

I slightly disagree with you.
From what I see, Ubuntu uses newer kernels than Fedora.
Read about my experience with both the latest versions:

Ubuntu DVD has 4G size, but I don't understand why during installation it does not allow you to choose packages and extra languages?

Please stop trolling.
I'm not far away from reporting your behavior.
