Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat

Posted by Hemos on from the what's-going-on-there dept.

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?"

    I think you meant "A fight [strike?] against their [competition] in the server market."
