Hilarious! The top open source vendor Red Hat becomes more and more an exact mirror of the "evil" Microsoft every day, now trying to become a one stop shop themselves.
Don't even bother with the "but it's open source so it's different" because it's really not. If it was, they wouldn't be paying a dime for JBOSS, Red Hat would just be ripping off the JBOSS code and selling it without a dime back to JBOSS. But instead they're paying $350 million LOL, for a company that only brings in ~$50 million a year.

Well I guess if thats oyour view OpenSource is no longer communistic, afterall the guys who founded JBoss get 350 Million for their investment. Thank you for endorsing OpenSource software as capitalistic..
for a company that only brings in ~$50 million a year.
Yea and all they get for 350 Million (60% of it in stocks) is 50 Million a year and a product to compete with Weblogic and WebSphere... To that this purchase might not push more people running JBoss on Solaris, Windows or other operating systems to look at RedHat is foolish and the market agrees with me..
