desktoplinux.com — Red Hat has confirmed that it is delaying the release of the newest member of its desktop Linux family, Red Hat Global Desktop, because the company is seeking to provide certain multimedia codecs. Sources close to Red Hat said obtaining some of these codecs was dependent on Red Hat coming to an agreement with Microsoft.

This is related to antitrust cases where Microsoft *shoves* WMF onto the Web using its desktop monopoly and then planning to tax everyone who wants to access content that is not related to Microsoft. Red Hat should not do this BS. It's part of Microsoft's plan to put price tags through access to content -- be it OOXML, Silverlight (.NET), WMA/V, DRM BS...By the way, Rick, what's the modified headline? This is unnecessarily sensationalist.
