Red Hat: Microsoft's Next Shakedown Target?
Apparently the big Linux distributor
talked
to Microsoft about a patent deal before Novell did -- and might still be
in negotiations. Bagging Red Hat would be huge for Microsoft's Linux protection
racket, which has seen some high-profile refusals of its overtures of late --
including one (we all thought)
from
Red Hat itself.
