Yes, RHAT is Red Hat's stock exchange short cut.
Actually, it's RHT.

What I said, of course, was wild speculation - It's the only explanation
I can find for this "GUI-mockup case study" and "market acceptance"
study, I feel RHAT is using Gnome3 on Fedora for.
Well, as an employee at Red Hat, I can say that if that's the case, this
is first I've ever heard. Given how small the market is for tablets
(compared to the server business) I would find such a statement highly
questionable. And since there's no path from tablet to server it would
make very little sense to do this.
All in all, I would say you should question your own "wild speculation"
before asserting them.
