What makes it complex is just what you said:
Eazel would make Mandrake, RedHat, et all easier to use...
Its the "et al" part thats the sticker. Why would Redhat want to help Mandrake be a better product? Its much better to just hire the Eazel developers and make it an integrated part of your offering.
You might want to learn about the definition of "possible." By announcing any ties you might have with the subject you are not inferring that the article is biased, you are inferring that the article might POSSIBLY be biased.
In your case, the fact that your boss went to school with the manager may cause your review to be POSSIBLY biased. Just because YOU say it is not is irrelevant. You may even be unconsciously biased.
Don't you feel that the fact that ABC television is owned by Disney affects the integrity of Disney movie reviews done by ABC? Don't you think the people should know about the possible bias?
What about revealing possible biases of judges, the FCC, FDA, etc? Is that silly as well?
...why have you and your relatives been SELLING large chunks of RHAT stock and not BUYING any? I congratulate you on selling 330,000 shares at $89 on 2/2000. Pretty smart.
As for the concept of "downloading small chunks of software" to run applications in your web browser there are two problems:
- Those "chunks" of software will need to be pretty massive for non-trivial apps
- Most of those "chunks" of software will not run under Linux, but Windows. Microsoft has a strategy for doing this (.NET), what is yours?
- How would you run say "Applixware" as a "chunk"?

What are they "picking up?" Thanks to the GPL, Eazel has no intellectual property.
All the have are the people, so just hire them.
Wow, you used the word "there" AND "they're" wrong in the same paragraph! Congrats!
Your calculations? How did you derive those figures? :-)

Ahhh, community college math.

We are not in a recession, just a stock market slump. More like a "correction."
