 I would firmly doubt that RH would make a deal of such a nature with 
Microsoft, but I can always be wrong. I was using suse and Fedora at the time 
the Novell deal was announced. I quickly dropped suse and will do the same if 
such a deal would occur. I cannot see any positive effects on Fedora which is 
my current distro of choice. I know people always talk about Debian's 
politics and how they can be eccentric about applications being free and all 
but I may end up going back this way if need be. In my opinion it would be a 
shame for RH to get into bed with microsoft but again I am not lawyer or 
company president so my two cents does not mean squat, but I hope for the 
best Fedora is fast becoming the leader in open source distro's and is moving 
in the right direction. I can only hope it stays this way. I find it hard to 
believe that RH would need extra revenue or some kind of deal with microsoft 
to increase its profits.
