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?"

    I would personally like to fight the competence of the slashdot editors' grammar, spelling, and proper use of words, but I would win that battle before it began. You know the old saying about fighting an unarmed opponent... .

    Captalistic ends never fail me!

    This is a warning shot to M$ over their bough, straight to M$. Start producing quality, and listening to the people - b/c I'm not wasting my dollars forever.

    Finally, perhaps we'll see computers shipped with an OS that does not suck.
