AOL now says that it is not interested in "taking over" Red Hat, but is
interested in some sort of cooperative business deal. At least that's the
latest I just heard tonight!!
As everyone knows, sometimes corporations  are less than candid about their
REAL motives for strategic reasons. This all might simply  be a way for AOL
to get something it wants from Microsoft, such as "If you don't give us what
we want we'll just get it from Red Hat and send AOL RedHat OS disks free to
everyone of our subscribers." The latter is simply speculation of course,
since you never know what corporations are up to. This could also be tactics
designed to get the price they want to pay Red Hat.
