Red Hat Set To Surpass Sun In Market Capitalization
mytrip writes "In what may come to be seen as a deeply symbolic moment in the history of operating systems, Red Hat is on the verge of surpassing Sun Microsystems' market capitalization for the first time.
Sun, perhaps unfairly, represents a fading Unix market. Red Hat, for its part, represents the rising Linux market.
Given enough time for its open-source strategy to play out, Sun's market capitalization will likely recover and outpace Red Hat's."
A thousand and one posts saying that it's illegal/immoral/impossible to make money from open source software will be along soon.
They'll be followed shortly after by sevaral thousand more complaining that all corporations are evil and should be banned.
In turn those will be followed by several million arguing that google are/aren't evil, or disputing the subtle nuances between doing evil and being evil.
In other words: normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. The tuna salad is off, by the way.
