Open Source & Embedded

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-will-happen dept.

Embedded Geek writes "Jack Ganssle has posted a column at embedded.com pondering whether Red Hat and other open source companies serving the embedded community are due a shakeout similar to the dot com collapse. He cites Red Hat's March cuts in their embedded division and their losses of $80M to $140M a year. He admits, though, that because the embedded market is smaller and many companies are privately held it is difficult to get a pulse on what's going on behind closed doors. "

    I thought RedHat made like $7.50 last year, or something! Now it's losing 150 million?! Quite a turnaround. :(
