[dundee] Red Hat and Ubuntu tell M$ - 2 go 4th & multiply

[Arron Finnon]

Just found a couple of nice links about the recent attempts by Micro$lave to 
get Ubuntu and Red Hat in to similar deals to those recently struck with 
Novell, Xandros, Linspire, LG.

However Mark Shuttleworth (CEO and Founder of Canonical Ltd.) thought that 
there was little incentive for Canonical to engage with M$ in patent 
protection deals - http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/16/1830224

And Red Hat where a little more blunt but the long and short of what their 
saying is a deal with M$ would be harmful to their business, and they would 
see it as an innovation tax -

Nice to see that some companies can't be swayed by F.U.D
