What happened to Oracle's Red Hat challenge?
,----[ Quote ]
| In March, Oracle announced that it had 2,000 customers for its Unbreakable
| Linux Support program, up from 1,500 in November.
|
| "This indicates significant growth for the program, although we believe the
| vast majority of those customer wins are in Oracle-heavy accounts," notes
| Matt Aslett, an analyst of enterprise software for The 451 Group, based in
| New York.

| Releasing code is not all there is to it. Ethics, fairness, honesty -- it's
| the FOSS culture, and it's the value add. Any company that tries to play by
| the old rules undercuts that advantage. It's the one thing Microsoft can't
| embrace, extend, extinguish. They can't even offer Brand X, because we'd all
| laugh. It would, in any case, take decades to live down their rep. So players
| in this space need to morph that part of their way of doing business also. If
| you don't believe me, look at Oracle's play to try to undercut Red Hat.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Blech. And Red Hat is doing fine, thanks. It always will, unless it starts
| importing proprietary tactics into the mix. The community is made up of
| brainiacs, you know. They know what is happening, and there are no secrets,
| long-term. So I would hope that all companies wanting to make use of openness
| as a model will scrape the proprietary crud off of them before they enter. We
| want to keep things clean in here.
