    Has to be. Microsoft can offer AOL more than RedHat can. More than 
anyone can, for that matter. The entire company will do better laying 
deep inside Microsoft's pocket than taking a stand against it. 
Potentially a case of illegal collusion, if anyone could ever prove it. I 
can list evidence if you're interested. Of course I'd love to be wrong 
about the whole thing but it doesn't add up that I am.
