My perception is that IBM (and HP, Oracle, etc) will buy a product company, and then IBM-ify it, and then just sit on that product for years with minimal improvements.
That is my fear for Red Hat. Successful product companies are hungry - IBM is not.
They call it bluewashing.
Also, this might be just IBM buying out its competition.. like oracle and all the others do most of the time.
