Yes, I agree with you that they invested a lot.
But, they unceremoniously dumped it and cut it loose to flounder and go its
own way without any explanation to 'us'.

If your wife suddenly says "I don't want to live with you anymore. Go find
another home." How much gratitude would you show?

Red Hat has been full of dirty tricks in my book going back as far as 1996
(I think it was. I would have to dig into my old checkbooks.)

Red Hat clearly has a Microsoft mindset and is trying to be their main
competitor. While this has not been evident by simply watching Interchange,
it is obvious when you look at the overall Red Hat image that they are
projecting.
