IBM already purchased red hat for $34b 3 years ago, so no need to wait any longer :)

I think he means that MS would buy IBM and RedHat with it.

I doubt they will though. Like others have said MS buying Canonical would make a lot more sense. And there have already been a lot of overtures.

What I meant is that MS could buy Red Hat from. IBM. Failing that, buy IBM.
