I give it no more than 24-36 mos before Red Hat files a lawsuit against IBM to divorce this relationship. The legacy IBMers HATE Red Hat for some reason. Maybe it's jealous of Red Hat's culture, success, reputation? Who knows, but these two parties are about to go their own way. The problem is that IBM will seek alimony support from Red Hat, because Red Hat is being too successful.

“This is a shocker,” said the CEO of a top IBM partner, who did not want to be identified. “I can’t believe Whitehurst is leaving. This came out of nowhere. He was the heir apparent to Arvind. The big question now is who is going to make sure the IBM-Red Hat integration does not go off track? IBM really needs to make sure that the integration remains a top priority.”

He has yet to receive his retention
He didn’t give up money. Fake news. Where is that stated?
AK is a joke… it is the end of IBM under his reign… Can’t wait, would love to go down with the company!
