Considering Redhat is now charging for their Operating System (Enterprise series), wouldn\'t this be the next step?

Having read the article, I can\'t say it would surprise me at all to see Microsoft acquire some open source properties. I imagine they will find some excuse which on the surface makes them appear supportive of the work taking place, but somehow I just can\'t fathom that they\'ve cozied up to the open-source community without some form of money-making gameplan in the works-that simply is not the Microsoft way.

see i agree. when MS says they are "looking into open souced communities" they are just looking into how to screw them all over and how to end it. then, ms would have YET another monopoly.

I'd rather see IBM taking over Red Hat then Microsoft...
