Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat

diegocgteleline.es writes "Via google news, I found a article at MSNBC claiming that Michael Dell, Dell's founder and chairman, has droped $100M into Red Hat (Michael himself, not his company). Analyists say that "Dell - neither the person nor the company - is interested in acquiring Red Hat", but one wonders what's behind of this move. A fight against their competence in the server market?"

For profit sake

This was purely done for diversification and making a buck.

Lets see... If I were Michael Dell and I wanted to get Linux in some of my boxen, Dell's acquisition department would be doing this instead of my personal investment arm. Besides, Microsoft would never allow it.

Who knows... perhaps Billy G has some of those debentures himself.
