Why would a software company with another product line go into the commodity linux business? Sure msft or psft or any software company could produce a linux kernel... big deal, just like sun,sgi,pyramid (remember them),sequent,data general,tandem etc. etc. produced a unix kernel, there is no money in it - the vendor is stuck with an O/S he can charge $100. for as some sort of loss leader while he tries to sell his real products...rhat is an irrational stock but that doesn't change the business model of a commodity O/S vs. a proprietary one.
