Trouble is, I don't see Red Hat becoming a major virtualization player.
They trail too far behind VMWare, Citrix and even Microsoft.

Other companies have solved this with technology partnerships.  Red Hat
chose to acquire an underdog instead.  We'll see in a few years how that
works out for them.

Indeed.  Competition and fair market -> customer wins.
