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. -- LostSon http://www.lostsonsvault.org
