I was pretty close but when I realized they just renamed RH to fedora I was ok with it.. Was pissed cause they made the announcement a few weeks after I bought my copy.
That and their very high contractual costs have kept them out of my workplace.
You must have had a poor sales guy, my guy is great I pay a bit for some of my production servers but any server which does not impact company income I got marked as a development entitlement for about 100$ a year (eg cvs server, outgoing proxy, .....) MY database servers I pay full price for (in production only) but I have really been impressed with their support people the two times I have had to call..
