OpenIPO and Lindows

Posted by Hemos on from the raising-the-money dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Lindows is using bankers WRHambrecht and their OpenIPO process when they go public. The lower end of the pricing range will net them more than 50MM. But OpenIPO is designed to let ANYONE bid on IPO shares. If Linux can keep investor's attention and Google announces their own IPO, they could raise much more which could have impact on desktop Linux. Same CEO had near perfect timing raising 300MM with MP3.com IPO." OpenIPO is the same route Andover.net took back in the day.

    No, its MegaMillions. You know, the multi-state lotto?

    My guess is they're going to go IPO and dump all the money into MegaMillions in order to thwart off SCO's attack.
