Even though patent talks between Microsoft and Red Hat broke down last year before Microsoft went on to sign a technical collaboration and patent indemnity deal with Novell, Red Hat is still willing to work with the Redmond software maker on the interoperability front. But the Linux vendor wants to limit those talks to pure interoperability between Windows and Red Hat Linux, with the goal of solving real customer problems, Paul Cormier, Red Hat's executive vice president of engineering, told eWEEK.

That's a lot of bs, if RedHat is all that, why are they still using and impulsing mySQL?

RedHat promotes PostgreSQL, not MySQL. Although, like most distros, they do include the popular MySQL in RHEL, along with about 2000 other packages.
Also, if you are going to dislike MySQL AB, do it because their business model is selling closed source licenses for a FOSS DBMS, and not because they helped bring the benefits of FOSS to people trapped using OpenServer and Unixware. Would you prefer that they *not* have MySQL available to them?
I really mean it about the valium. :-)

Im poiting the double moral of RedHat, but hey, how about a waith and see?, lets see what happens from now to 6 months with RedHat and the strategy they will take.
Lets see how this "interoperability" request ends, it may be to soon to to talk, yet.
I'll take the valium and you take a dope, you really need it.

That's a lot of bs, if RedHat is all that, why are they still using and impulsing mySQL? you know? the company that parnered with SCO? the ones that tried to destroy Linux?
Don't give me that "Redhat has strong believe... blah blah blah".
News Flash, RedHat is a bussines that will do anything to get customer like spreading FUD to their competition, is not the Bodyguard of the "community", it just manipulate it in its favor.
