- Did Canonical Just Get Punked by Red Hat and Novell?
- Interesting thoughts about Linux desktop strategies
- rPath to OEM SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell for Appliances
- I know a bunch of the folks at rPath, and I very much respect their technology; I think this is a very good thing for them.
- Does Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer need an intervention?
- Does anyone think a Microsoft/Yahoo merger makes sense besides Mr. Ballmer?

A Microsoft/Yahoo merger makes a lot of sense, for Microsoft; it just doesn’t make any sense for Yahoo.

I’m not sure it makes sense for Microsoft; Yahoo’s DNA is BSD servers and PHP. Microsoft’s is Windows Internet Information Server (IIS). If the acquisition goes through, all of Yahoo’s best engineers will leave and end up going into the arms of Google. Who is going to run all of Yahoo’s web properties then? The highly talented individuals at MSN? I don’t think so….
