This just cracks me up!!! They can't get their own house straight and now they are planning to support the software developed by a company that stands at number 1 position in Vendor Value Survey? A company (Oracle) that stands at number 2 in the list of "Companies with highest number of POOR RATINGS" are trying to give better support then the guys who are at number one in GOOD RATINGS. This is like asking a cat to protect your milk.

IMHO Oracle should first support their own software *properly* by producing regular patches rather than getting into new things they know little about.

EDIT: I didn't see gary's comment. As far as falling share prices are concerned, RedHat is looking at it as an opportunity. They have already planned a share buyback plan in which they are buying their own shares worth $250 million and I am sure they will not regret the decision because one the knee jerk reaction gets over, their prices will surely rise
