Red Hat concentrated on the enterprise. They certainly haven't abandoned it - they bought Qumranet as much for their desktop virtualization solution as the KVM technology.

These numbers show that Red Hat did the right thing too - they're a highly profitable company, and they're bringing massive value to the community. I really don't understand why you seem so aggrieved at a company which contributes so much.

They are highly profitable? Thank god. I don't know enough about them as a company, but it is really good to know they aren't teetering on the brink of destruction. They are currently in my list of companies I really want to stick around.
Their stock seems to be doing well. It's above pre-recession levels.

I had some investments in the company for a while. It seems to be very well managed. There revenues have had a decent growth over the years I've followed it.
