Im really glad to see that Novell and RedHat are taking different tracts rather than trying to mirror each others business. Each will find their own path and the better business model will succeed.
Were I RedHat I would not dismiss Oracle yet. While UL has been falling flat on its face Ellison is one stubborn guy with a pile of cash and while its plain stupid for him to try and kill the goose. Probably would have been better for them to partner with RedHat rather than have a tantrum over JBoss..

I think we're talking different markets here. Red Hat and Ubuntu are installed mostly by individual consumers. The Novell-Microsoft deal targets the business market.

Linux is the most expensive 'free' software you will ever use.
