It makes a LOT of sense!!!
Red Hat concentrate on producing good software while M$ concentrates on WGA, crippling their code to genetate several versions of the same product, etc.

Those WGA and crippling efforts are a part of M$'s marketing strategy, they do reduce the quality of code produced and deviate the coder's attention from what has to be done.

And let us not forget that Red Hat coders benefit a lot from code produced by the community.

Dear kdSauq  elderlybloke | 05/15/09

A case of stolen passwords done through windoze  InAction Man | 05/09/09
2006 passwords used to steal PII in 2009?  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
windoze turned hackers into system admins in 2006 and before.  InAction Man | 05/09/09

As admins hackers got the means to dissimulate their activitivities  InAction Man | 05/09/09

@LiquidLearner: Today, viruses are the best hacker tools!  InAction Man | 05/10/09
Just goes to show !  Aussie_Troll | 05/08/09
According to 1 report, it has to do with Windows being used.  B.O.F.H. | 05/08/09

YES  AccesPublic | 05/10/09
"in 2006 a virus spread to the air traffic control" - BEFORE Linux!  InAction Man | 05/09/09
Use the source: the last attack happened in 2009.  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
Excellent response  LiquidLearner | 05/09/09
If you read the report and you're honest you'll change your opinion.  InAction Man | 05/09/09
New form of intelligence.  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
@Farthling2  InAction Man | 05/10/09
More likely  honeymonster | 05/10/09
So says the sewer dweller...  InAction Man | 05/10/09
@InAction Man  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
@FartLing: Are those your arguments?  InAction Man | 05/10/09
@InAction Man  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
You'll have to turn away from the mirror to see it  InAction Man | 05/10/09
Please read before posting.  InAction Man | 05/09/09
Passwords should be changed periodically or not used at all  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
But they became system administrators!!!! Too late for that.  InAction Man | 05/09/09
Can't audit your admins?  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
Probably the true admins were unsuspecting and those hackers used some  InAction Man | 05/09/09
I have  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
Why break a door when there so many windows wide open, ready for exploit  InAction Man | 05/10/09
Why not patch the system and avoid SQL injection attacks?  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
I'm very glad I got you reading...  InAction Man | 05/10/09
@InAction Man  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
Neither is inactionman  honeymonster | 05/10/09
@honeymonster: Maybe?   Maybe??? If you don't thrust the article why  InAction Man | 05/11/09
@Earthling2 and honeymonster: why do you keep ignoring the article contents  InAction Man | 05/11/09
InAction Man cannot read  honeymonster | 05/11/09
honeymonster, still no interpretation of what happened in that 2006 virus  InAction Man | 05/11/09
Maybe  Techref6060 | 05/11/09
That's what the FAA get from believing the lies of *nix geeks...  transposeIT | 05/10/09
