Re: [PLUG] IBM just purchased RedHat


IBM's two big things recently are Watson and Blockchain. Watson is doing bad, and the blockchain stuff - a tech with promises of decentralization - can be hosted entirely at IBM for a price. (someone didn't get the memo it seems). Even Buffet has sold his IBM stock.

Anyone see this in the same light as Microsoft's Github purchase? Needing to stay relevant. 
Similarly - the best they can do is to do NOTHING, and be happy about the revenue stream. 

Everyone is watching - with distrust.

One of the Whining Points of past employers was that linux had no
support (yes, I know). Gee, guys.... is IBM good enough for ya? Do you
think they have any resources? Is their tech support any good? Do you
think they have any idea what they're talking about?

The answer, no doubt: well, they're new with RH, so we can't trust them yet.


Still... another positive selling point for the Redmond Menace-heads.
