Wrong again...
Actually though Redhat issues Fedora, it is community driven and supported and Redhats role is merely due to it's name and trademarks being associated with the product; if you were to try to sue someone over Fedora, Redhat has no legal responsibility for the product. So yes, they have attached their trademark to the product but no, they don't support it. It's like a Nemo doll; the manufacturer holds the responsibility for the choking hazard it presents, not Disney who attaches their trademark to the doll.

As far as servers go, it's interesting that you quote Microsofts numbers because they only show adoption within a certain percentage of the tech market and not the tech market as a whole. According to Netcraft, Microsoft only has 33% of the market for web servers. Gee, I wonder what the rest could be running on? Hmmmm... well it's a mixture of BSD's and Linux.

Aside from that, their sales are doing SO WELL that they ever so recently had to cut employee benefits by 60 million in order to meet their quarterly goals. Pretty impressive sales, don't you think?
