Dear John: You compared RHAT to INPR and said: "Where are the big jumps that indicate WS is taking the INPR Linux business model seriously ????????"

RHAT, being a recent IPO, has a float of 6 million shares. INPR, being a mature company, has a float of 41 million shares. Slight difference.

Also, being in the "Linux" space and comparing the company with RHAT currently presents a problem. RHAT is a so-called operating system company (Note: I believe that characterization is incorrect given the open-source characteristics of Linux). Inprise is a tools company. Slight difference. In the long-run (i.e., longer than a month), I believe INPR will be viewed by Wall Street as more significant and more important over the next year to the success of Linux's acceptance by the marketplace.
