9:44 PM EST 		It was interesting to me to see lots of news sites with the headline "Red Hat doubles profit" and "Red Hat doubles profit on corporate demand", yet CNet and ZDNet had the headline, "Red Hat growth tops estimates by a notch".

Spin never ceases.

Yes, a completely factual story (estimates were for $0.12/share, Red Hat earned $0.13/share), that completely misses the real story. Par for the course for ZDNet.
