By Nick Hodge | February 22, 2008

The day the Microsoft announces this, RedHat goes and does this.

Has the world turned upside down?

Good news and Bad news Chris. You are on the radar screen.

    I know it's no excuse, but that C&D was probably not screened by anyone who had a clue (aka it came from the legal dpt)

    Still a shame it happened though. :(

    I'm confused, are you saying red Hat have become MS? LOL.
    I don't see anything on the MS link which says anything other than spend money with us (though we will now work with others...finally) What have I missed?
