Business don't go on a path of expensive revenge. Buying RedHat in itself is already a revenge But its for their own interests and that of shareholders to allow the company to carry on being profitable while gaining more Linux intelligence.

Solaris advertisement is always of the type: Run Solaris and Linux side-by-side. ie: Have 2 powerful OS for the price of 1

In fact I will place my bets - that will happen in the next 6 months.
