If you want to intereact with the real world, there are a few things that will make this interaction nicer in Fedora, they are:

• Windows Fonts: to be able to read and create documents using those fonts
• Windows Codecs: to be able to play media encoded using those codecs
• Libdvdcss2: to be able to play just about any commercial movie
