Redhat is making some moves (Score 2)

This makes perfect sense, Red Hat seems to be positioning itself to be a major player in the hightech industry, not just the 'Alternative OS' market. Rumour has it they may be getting ready to purchase Corel as well. With Mozilla to provide a browser platform, and Corel Wordperfect Office suite to provide an office environment, they would be well placed to deal competitively with Microsoft (although they will have a long uphill climb in that battle). Looks like they have decided to leverage all that money they collected from their IPO to place themselves in direct competition to the big boys.

I would expect to see them purchase a few more companies to round out there holdings and widen their market.
