    Redhat will also be responsible for cleaning up the linux graffiti ads that IBM did in SF. That's not my definition of "linux support"

    You should abstract this concept into a general theory, you could name it like comparative advantage, that sounds cool. Add some other stuff, and make a whole college major out of it, we could call it...i don't know....economics??

    You don't understand VA's business strategy:

    1. invest in idea.

    2. continue to invest in idea even though you are losing money.

    3. realize that idea loses money, stop investing in idea.

    4. stare dumb-struck when some other company that stuck through just a little bit longer actually starts making money.

    This is known in MBA school as the "totally out of whack inverse biorythm business strategy" or "the 180 degrees out of phase business strategy". Most MBAs are supposed to learn how to avoid it in the first few weeks.

    Amazingly, they are actually still in business with this strategy.
