This is truely brilliant (link)- everyone suspected that Oracle would buy up Ubuntu to take over the revenue that Red Hat has been garnering at Oracle's install sites.
Instead, Oracle just takes Red Hat's distribution and repackages it. Not only that, they offer the same support services that Red Hat offers with significant discounts. And then Ellison says,
"Every time Red Hat comes out with a release, we'll synchronize code."
Of course they will! That has to be hall of fame material for the book "In Search of Stupidity". It's like Ellison is singing a broadway tune:
"Anything you can ship, I can ship better. I can ship anything better than you."
Tomorrow, Larry Ellison is going to steal Mathew Szulik's girlfriend for good measure.
