I'll bite on the conspiracy angle... It's a way of squeezing out RedHat. When Oracle announced few days ago that it will sell maintenance services for RedHat, it's RedHat shares of stocks went down 24%. Now this from Microsoft partnership with Novell where it would promote Suse Linux.
My take, Redhat is being pummeled left and right. When the possibility after a few months/years that it's down and out, it's ripe for the taking by Oracle or others Like IBM, etc. A conspiracy to possibly take down Redhat. For Microsoft, is not dumb. take that in mind. they have seen Linux as a growing threat for years. Now, it is a real competitor on the Enterprise Market and they are feeling the heat. Anything to take down RedHat is good for them. And I believe it. Just to give my own perspective. 5 years ago, if you would say Linux for the Enterprise, sure, but skepticism arises. Now, Have been consulting for a large Telecoms/Wireless and a Bank. Guess what they are using for future projects. And I tell you, it's a very high visibility and big project at that. Go Linux! Again, it's just my take. In other words, rumors. :) -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
