Quoting:Oracle and Red Hat representatives questioned during this week's Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco offered strikingly different perspectives on how well Oracle's plan has worked out.


Red Hat: We don't see a difference. People must not like Oracle. Oracle: We're booming! Red Hat beware!

Reality: Oracle just generates new business. It's not steeling customers from Red Hat but creating a new market for it's "Unbreakable Linux".

Conclusion: This is healthy for Linux as a whole.
