There it is!
"Call me parinoid but it seems every time linux or a linux company is attacked you know who is pulling some strings or has a connection in the background."

Once again, an article that has nothing to do with Microsoft sparks comments that hint at some kind of conspiracy. Are you saying that MS bribed the accountants that worked for Red Hat? Any evidence whatsoever (however tenuous) that supports this claim?

This is just a case of stockholders getting nervous when a company changes its method of accounting. There was nothing illegal about how Red Hat was doing it, and there's nothing shady about the change. In this day of get-rich-quick and pad the executives, it's udnerstandable that people would be nervous any time things change.

Calm down, not everything's about Microsoft.
