Many good replies. Please keep them coming. Because this is an IBM contest and we are in cost-cutting mode, first prize has been reduced to an additional day severance. Also, you must be employed with IBM on December 15.

Obvious. You get smart young people being laid off by the thousands,by not so smart old people.

Then red hat development moves off shore.

Per a few news posts today ... "IBM dumped nearly a third of their market value ($34 Billion) for Red Hat". THINK about that for a minute. IBM is indirectly saying their strategic imperatives, by themselves, aren't capable to reach desired growth and revenue objectives. This purchase is nothing more that a financial life preserver.

You get customers fleeing Red Hat due to IBM's nasty, ignorant business practices and dishonest audits?
