As if I needed Joe Barr to tell me this. What a wasted read. I wonder if he got the 150 bucks for posting this master-crap-piece of journalism. I've read better material on bathroom walls. |

A little harsh on Papa Joe, methinks. There may yet be those who wonder if Red Hat will join the "I like Mic" parade. I would like to see one thing that Joe didn't do : Write about the important ways that Red Hat differs from some other distros and what things would make a distro consider signing on the dotteds. For example, Red Hat is financially sound and has a decent enterprise business already. I'm not sure that Microsoft has much to offer Red Hat other than money, and I think the price is likely to be too steep (like, say, making ODF the native format of Office and abandoning all DRM plus enough money to party like it's 1999). |

>that truly would be interesting and unique and I'd welcome that :D It would really be cool coming someone who just quit the appropriate unit of Microsoft. I have to believe they've gone through the biggest distros and tried to identify those that might work with them and figured out how much each one is worth to them. |

I thought that Red hat was approached already before Novell, and they said 'No'. At least that's what the rumor mills said the lunch get together was all about:
