Red Hat president and CEO Jim Whitehurst arrived in Australia yesterday for the first time, with plans to meet major customers and government representatives.
The man who led Linux seller Red Hat from a newly public but largely unproven open source company to a force to be reckoned with is giving his office to an executive largely unknown in the software industry.
Red Hat has plans for a new private beta test of open source messaging software to begin next month, with hopes to reinvent a section of the server market currently ruled by proprietary vendors.
Microsoft's general counsel, Brad Smith, would not rule out an appeal as the company processed a judgement by the European Court of First Instance.
A European court dealt a severe blow to Microsoft's competitive ambitions in Europe on Monday by siding with regulators in an antitrust case against the company.
Red Hat's new chief executive officer, Jim Whitehurst, talks about the Linux maker in an extensive interview with ZDNet Australia sister site CNet News.

Trying to take a more active role in open-source programming, Red Hat has created a team of 34 programmers to work on nothing but next-generation software.
It's not easy building a new version of Linux and establishing a large following. But with the Ubuntu project, one team of programmers has managed to do just that.
Red Hat and Sun Microsystems are gearing up to sell Linux for desktop computers, the companies' chief executives said Tuesday.
