Some intriguing data behind Red Hat's 29 percent quarterly growth
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat continues to impress. Coming off an already strong Q1 and raised
| guidance for its fiscal year 2009, today Red Hat announced 29 percent growth
| over Q2 2008 and 5 percent growth over Q1, with total revenue hitting $164.4
| million. Both revenue and profit came in above analyst expectations.
|
| This was the first time in years that Q2 billings exceeded Red Hat's Q1
| billings. Not bad for a company that gives away free software.
|
| [....]
|
| In sum, Red Hat is doing exceptionally well, and has finally turned JBoss
| into a thriving asset rather than a Marley's ghost come back to haunt it for
| clutching too eagerly at its past. Everyone in open source benefits when Red
| Hat does well. Today, Red Hat demonstrated that it is doing very, very well.
