Guess that means Oracle is no longer looking at Red Hat...;-)<br>
<br>
Maybe IBM will turn around and buy Red Hat.  Which would actually be a<br>
brilliant move on their part, I think.  I even think IBM corporate<br>
culture has come far enough that they MIGHT be able to cope with being a<br>
premier non-proprietary resource provider for the OS community.<br>
<br>
It looks like the price per share isn't substantially different from<br>
what IBM was offering, but either way, this is a much better fit.  IBM<br>
and Sun have been natural competitors for years; Oracle and Sun have<br>
been natural partners.</blockquote><div></div><div>Except when it comes to RDBMS.</div><div></div><div>Tiago</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
