Scott,

Let me give you an example of how meaningless your little weather report was: if AMD shipped motherboards with Linux on a CD then they would have registered billions on your weather report. If Wendy's started giving away Linux with the purchase of a double-cheese, they would also zoom to the top of your weather report. What do the revenues of Corel's graphics package and El Cheapo Office Suite bundles have to do with Linux?

I'm just waiting for Corel to announce its B2B bandwagon strategy so I can laugh myself silly again. Will you post your B2B weather report showing the same unrelated revenue on the B2B list?

here's a Linux weather report after today's closing:

Latest Annual Revenue Market Cap Ratio
RHAT $ 42 M $4.7 B .0089
CALD $3.1 M $592 M .0052
CORL $246 M $614 M .4

Surely you jest Scott. RHAT and CALD are pure Linux plays,
with growing revenues. Corel's revenue is mostly non-linux
related with Linux revenue clocking at 2.3 million in the
last quarter, down from 3.5 million.

Contrast with RedHat with revenues of $13M up from $5.4M in
the previous quarter.
