Microsoft seems to be playing patent games in order to stifle this. Thank you,
Novell, for nothing. And there are other 'shills' also...
Red Hat corner notes
,----[ Quote ]
| The stupid self-declared "business analyst" Katherine R. Egbert from
| Jefferies & Co. has downgraded Red Hat on "challenges from competing
| technology", thus cutting its rating from "Buy" to "Hold", and reducing the
| target price from $23 to $19.
|
| As a comment on Tuxmachines, Roy Schestowitz opines that «Analysts are paid
| by companies to dig their dirt. She already got one predication [sic] on Red
| Hat totally wrong. In many cases analysts are little more than shills in
| suits. Gartner and IDC for example are funded by Bill Gates and Ballmer
| shouts at them on the phone.»
|
| I would add that, as noted 10 months ago, in Why Would Anyone Believe
| Investment Analysts?!, Katherine R. Egbert is not at her first blunder! She
| has already changed her mind back in February, when she first said that Red
| Hat is affected by the Microsoft-Novell deal and by Oracle's "Broken Linux",
| just to say shortly after that... no, Red Hat is not affected!
|
| Now what? Is Katherine R. Egbert a real business analyst or is she only
| issuing prophecies based on the PMS?
