45 GB HD-DVD hits back at Blu-ray !!!!
Linux, the "free OS" that was supposed to wipe out Windows, according to the
zealots. It turns out BSD/OSX overtook Linux years ago, and Windows is still going strong. RedHat turned that "free OS" into a cash cow by charging as much for server versions as Microsoft does. That's the only reason Dell has interest in RedHat. "RichA" wrote in message ... Conservative slime bag (for not supporting AMD and using Intel exclusively) Michael Dell has just invested $99 million in Red Hat. Gives you an idea of the impact Linux is having when you can get a stolid joke like him to invest. -Rich |

Questionable , still in use yes but going is the time between problems . RedHat turned that "free OS" into a cash cow by charging as much for server versions as Microsoft does.

RedHat turned that "free OS" into a cash cow by charging as much for server versions as Microsoft does. That's the only reason Dell has interest in RedHat. Redhat is not the only source for Linux. If you are basing your contention that BSD/OSX "overtook" Linux on Redhat's sales figures you are underestimating the installed base of Linux probably by an order of magnitude or more.
