It seems it’s follow the leader nowadays.

After Microsoft’s plan to conquer 1.5 billion poor people with not-so-cheap software, now it’s Red Hat’s turn.

Red Hat, known for its enterprise Linux flavor (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, what else?), announced the release of a desktop client, Red Hat Global Desktop.

Like Microsoft’s cheap software initiative, Red Hat Global Desktop targets small businesses and governments in emerging (read: third world/haven of pirates) markets.

Well, me thinks Ubuntu looks better….
