Yeah, that will generate lots of dollars. NOT!
Dear stock holder, we have a new plan. No silly, newer than the last new plan. In this plan we take all our software and give it away, that way we make money on hardware. Huh? Oh yeah, we don't sell hardware, never mind. Ok, we are going to sell free software by tricking people into buying "services".

What? Yes of course we said that when we bought out the old Linux distro but this time we are really goin to do it. After all Red Hat does it. Um yes I know Red Hat barely manages to stay in the black, so what, this is all about giving things away for free!!

I'm fired? What do you mean I'm fired? You can't do that, I have a PLAN!!!
