I really feel for RedHat people. I've had the rotten luck to work for multiple companies that get bought out, and it inevitably turns to shit. The smart people leave quickly on their own terms. The rest get slowly worn down by the changes that the parent company puts in place to 'get things working their way', the drastic changes in morale, the slow but steady shedding of 'the old guard'. <shudder>. From what I hear of the purchaser in this case, they're probably not going to buck this trend. Sorry guys. it was good while it lasted ...

ibm is really pushing their flexible cloud solution, and they tighly integrated with redhat's tech. i guess it makes sense in that regard to have a stronger product offering.
