hmm.. actually i woudn't worry about that.. they will find out this atrategy will not make a lot of ppl change from suse/mdk to redhat. <IMHO> Linux users tend to be very satisfied with their choices, simply beacuse we CAN choose, and try a lot of things. a rebate is not enough to change a mandrake/suse user's mind, unless he/she had a very bad experience with it. Now, for Windoze users... that's another deal. in their case it might work. </IMHO> we all know RH is a more "traditional" company, so to speak.. so it's not very surprising that they start using a more agressive advertising strategy... ............. and on the other hand, it does hurt a little..
