Red Hat wants to become more powerful than it is now. After long years of silence, the company is back with a vengeance; now acquiring more companies, technologies, and consumers. The company is like Lord Voldemort, the evil villain (which is exactly the same thing!) in the
Harry Potter series wherein he returned after 14 years of inactivity to finish his wicked plans. I'm not saying that the open-source company is wicked nor it remained inactive for 14 years. As you can see, I'd rather write about Harry Potter, which is more sensible stuff than crappy software.
Anyway, the New York-based company is a popular distributor of the Linux software. But the popularity did not stop the company from expanding their business enterprise and acquiring more firms like JBoss. JBoss, by the way, is an application server base in Java. The acquisition of the middleware cost almost $500 million. According to computer rumors, the company will be paying JBoss another $70-80 million depending on its future performance. Oracle, another computer company was rumored to give a higher price to buy the middleware. Jboss is now a component of the Linux-provider that will serve customers a worldwide production assistance to all Linux users from the
business and personal area.
