Forbes - Red Hat Lives In Microsoft's Crosshair
http://www.forbes.com/2002/07/16/0716redhat.html

So, how does a moneylosing $80 million (fiscal 2002 sales) company like Red
Hat compete against one of the most powerful companies in the world?

It helps immeasurably that Red Hat has friends in high places. Oracle
(nasdaq: ORCL - news - people ), IBM, Dell, Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news -
people ), Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ - news - people ) and many others are
devoting development and support resources to Red Hat Linux. Despite its
size and influence, Microsoft cannot break such a rising tide.
