General Development Six months ago, Linux vendor Red Hat acquired the closed source Exadel Studio Pro IDE and pledged to turn it into a fully open source Red Hat product. On Monday, Red Hat officially released JBoss Developer Studio, based on the Exadel product as a 100 percent open source IDE. The new Eclipse based IDE offering from Red Hat's JBoss division will provide a development environment that will work on both Windows and Linux for Java middleware solutions from JBoss.

When will they learn? While certainly not expensive, I can't imagine that many prospective users will shell out $99 to download and kick the tires on this package. Most enterprise users can't just plunk down $99! You think they're going to go thru the IT purchasing process to try JBoss Studio!?

RH, you're letting your grip on the enterprise slowly but surely slip thru your fingers with this nonsense. Get your products into the hands of users! Your enterprise client-base will come through with the subscriptions.
