I'd say that the original investors in Red Hat have had their premium for all the hungry years, selling the business to IBM for $34 billion !

- phkahler 6y agoSure, but IBM is going to want something for their $34B. Presumably they had a plan for getting that return prior to the purchase. Obviously it's not going according to plan now - they had a plan for CentOS and instead it has been destroyed. If I were IBM, I'd be taking a step back to understand things better before screwing things up more, because there is obviously a disconnect. I think the IBM Redhat purchase could have been a very good thing if handled properly. CentOS was actually a feature of RHEL in a way, but no more.
