[Mageia-dev] Identifying Target Markets

I like very much the professional approach and analysis of Graham. And
+I agree pretty much.
+
+However, a "family" distro means, for me, the married man / woman +
+kids. And that's where I find Marc's approach correct.
+
+If you wan that the whole family could enjoy the experience, you must
+provide to the distro the "tools-for-common-tasks" like office suite,
+Internet, IM, etc etc, educational software and security-for-kids
+tools, and of course, solid game experience.
+
+If you don't include games, probably you'll have dual-boot PC's
+instead of Megaia-only PCs.
+
+There will be cases where dual-boot will be inevitable (maybe because
+dad needs a particular tool and Wine is not an option), but we're
+talking about the majority.
+
+Cheers!
