Red Hat Red Hat will announce its latest quarterly earnings today, and if the outlook of its partners provides any clue the report should be good for shareholders – as well as in future quarters. Especially interesting in a Wall Street analyst's recent report is a finding that 45% of Red Hat's partners are seeing customers migrating from Windows to Red Hat. That trend could be a tremendous growth indicator for the Hatters since Microsoft dominates world markets and much of Red Hat's growth in the past has come at the expense of Unix or other Linux providers.

Reading between the lines, if 45% of partners each see 1 migration to Red Hat from Windows but 45% each see 2 migrations from Red Hat to Windows, it still counts as 45% of partners seeing migrations from Windows to Red Hat even though they're at a net loss, right? ;)
