Red Hat Inc. on Tuesday will announce its new desktop offering, the Red Hat
Desktop, which the company said will be available by the middle of this
month.
 
The new desktop product is targeted at those Microsoft Corp. customers
currently running Windows 98, NT and 2000 and who are looking at the end of
support for their platforms from the Redmond, Wash., software maker.
 
Red Hat is also targeting those customers concerned about "lock-in" with the
technology behind Longhorn [the next version of Windows] and where the
operating system is headed and exactly what Microsoft will build into it.
"Those are things that are starting to swirl around our prospective
customers' minds," said Mike Ferris, an enterprise Linux product manager for
Raleigh N.C.-based Red Hat in an interview with eWEEK.
