Red Hat Dismisses Threat Posed by Oracle and MS

Posted by Hemos on from the well-of-course-he-would-say-that dept.

Rob writes "Red Hat Inc's executive vice president of worldwide sales, Alex Pinchev, has dismissed the impact that Oracle Corp's entry into the Linux support business could have on Red Hat, insisting Oracle does not really know what it is doing. Pinchev also described Microsoft's recent interoperability and patent peace deal with Novell Inc as a "non-event" and dismissed the suggestion that Linux users are at risk of a patent infringement lawsuit from Redmond."

    That's OK for Oracle. The people making the purchasing decisions don't know what they're doing either.
