Good summary -- and author Profitt is absolutely correct in his
recounting and analysis.  The last couple of months, I've been
encountering Sun-employee pundits on commmunity mailing lists (e.g.,
SVLUG's and OSI's) and politely blowing their factual claims about Red
Hat and Linux out of the water at every turn.  They always change the
subject quickly when I do, which tells me that they almost certainly
know they're flat-out wrong but are working on orders from executive
management.
