Likewise, MS supporting Red Hat is like admitting that Red Hat is not doing anything wrong -- which is contrary to all of the comments by Ballmer.


No it isn't. MS isn't supporting Red Hat, they're making sure Linux can run well with Virtual Server.

I don't see why this is so hard to understand?


I don't see why business realities are so hard to understand. Obviously some shops run Linux and will not change to Windows (no matter how many sales drones MS sends their way) so MS is left with the options of either not making any sale at all or making a sale of Virtual Server.
