Obviously if, well, a lot of JBoss business is people migrating over to save money on license fees. And this is really about building a community not just around feature functionality, but around actual migration. So it''s a way to get customers involved to help solve their own problems. It''s not specifically designed to go after any particular other application server. It''s really collecting tools and best practices and technologies, regardless of where someone is moving from. Again, it is really not meant to be targeted at other application servers as much as it''s really meant to help our customers implement our products.

Okay. And then the follow up is you mentioned that one of your free-to-pay deals the large one was somebody who had their own Linux distribution, and then moved to a commercial one. Would that be perhaps a very quiet civilian agency in Maryland or Virginia that''s affiliated with the Defense Department? And if it''s a government agency does that really have any broader implications for Linux adoption in the government?
James Whitehurst
We don''t have any, obviously specific identification of any of these customers. But I can tell you that open source and RHEL, specifically, is well adopted in the government, not only U.S. government but state and local government and foreign governments and it''s very popular. So, the government markets are very good one for us.

Right, I am just looking at given the expense and the difficulty. Obviously, there is somebody who has some pretty good technical jobs to maintain their own distribution. I am just trying to figure out if there is among that relatively small number of customers, doing that is that a trend that we should look for more of?
James Whitehurst
I think, it''s probably, its either small customers…small number of customers are doing, or customers that are foolhardy trying to do it.
Brent Williams – Benchmark Company
Okay.

Next question please.
Operator
Your next question is from the line of Tim Klasell with Thomas Weisel Partners.
Tim Klasell – Thomas Weisel Partners
Yes. Good afternoon guys and congrats on the quarter. I am wondering if you could give us just a little bit better color on the Qumranet acquisition. How that did during the quarter as far as revenues are concerned?
James Whitehurst
I''ll pick that up, Tim. First of all, the integration has gone very well, and that you''ve heard a series of virtualization announcements from us over the last month or so, which is indicative of lot of the progress made by the guys from Qumranet and others. But we do not break out anything specific about the results of Qumranet. |
