Got this piece of bloat from RH today. It does raise a couple of
questions though. 1) In what part of their anatomy does RH carry their
brains around in and 2) does Bill Gates secretly own RH.

Why would RH think that Open source people would pay them $60/yr to stay
on their upgrade download list. Gates planned the same thing for XP and
it blew up in his face. And his customers only had one choice either M$
or M$. With RH trying the gates thing I guess there'll be a lot of spill
over business to Mandrake and SuSE.
