I'm not sure how MS buying a single open source company is the end of 
Open Source... even if Red Hat is gone, all the work they poured into
linux is still there for use by any of the plethora of open source
companies (Novell, Mandrake, Progeny, just to name a very few).

Could you please connect the dots for me?  What am I missing?
