Seeing the new reports on Linux marketshare by distro shows SUSE LINUX growing very rapidly. With these types of reports, I suspect that RH and MS are looking at ways to work together in a vain attempt to keep their reign in their respective areas.
But that is a biased opinion as well...
btw...RH alone has made up a large % of Dell's revenue over the past few years (somewhere in the neighborhood of 30%).

I just wanted to call attention to a couple of recent interesting stories regarding
RedHat. Of course, if you're a regular at SlashDot and OSNews, you've already seen
these:
Matthew Szulik and Steve Balmer dine together in NY:

http://news.com.com/A+Microsoft-Red+Hat+warming+trend/2100-7344_3-5701700.html?tag=nefd.top
Michael Dell invests $100 Million in Redhat:

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7787642/
Could these two be related in any way? Will MS begin to port some products to Linux,
like they have for Apple? Could Dell start shipping products with RedHat installed
(if they don't already)? Should I add another layer to my tin foil hat? Or is this
the beginning of the inevitable Linux world domination prophesied for so long? And
does this belong on the Politics list?
I'm forclempt... Talk amongst yourselves...
