In Your Face, Critics! Red Hat Passes $1 Billion In Revenue

Posted by timothy on from the flash-in-the-pan-I-tell-you dept.

head_dunce writes "Now that Red Hat has officially posted more than a billion dollars in revenue, ($1.13 billion to be exact), the company's PR department sent this funny list of quotes predicting doom. For instance, 'We think of Linux as a competitor in the student and hobbyist market but I really don't think in the commercial market we'll see it in any significant way.' Bill Gates, 2001."

    So basically, your claim is that if you had a penis, it would be the largest?

    I seen fanboys make up some weird figures before, but claiming you are the top seller if you would be selling, that is a new one.

    Apple is a big mobile maker, but it is not the biggest. About the only claim that stands is that of single model high-end smartphone, Apple sells the most. That is not a bad title to hold but it has rather a lot of qualifiers.

    Mandatory car anology, Ferrari would be the biggest car maker, if they sold small cheap cars.
