The main point where fedora or other linux OS lack is the inclusion of a media player (like mplayer) packed with the distribution.
Its the time when people just download a media file and just play with VLC player, GOM player etc.
Fedora and other linux flavors are for those users which have a IT related educational background otherwise general user has no time to full-fil the dependencies of rpm while installing a software etc....
Fedora has to improve this mechanism by devising somw new methodology else Windows will remain popular among general users which make almost 70% of the cyber community
