#102It's Redhat, whose focus has always been enterprise the money maker. Ever since it dumped the desktop years ago, I switched to the deb ecosystem and never looked back, do not want to have anything to do with Redhat,including this openshift thing, one reason is for the "dump-the-desktop"(please don't mention Fedora), another is that, DEB is so much better than RPM for my daily life. I also hate the Redhat-intrusively-…

There is more chance of the pope converting to Islam, then MS acquiring Red Hat. That is one acquisition that would turn to shit over night, and MS would be left with just some logos, as the companies main assets (its engineering) would all walk out the door, followed by customers not renewing subscriptions.

Red Hat is to some extent protected from acquisition by the ideological poison pill. Because there's no IP (open source), the value of the company is basically the engineering talent, which enables the level of service Red Hat provides. Many of those engineers have very strong opinions about FOSS. The second a Microsoft (or worse, an Oracle) tried to acquire Red Hat, a huge portion of that talent would walk out the d…
Oracle is notorious for buying companies for their clients, even if everyone quits (eg, hostile takeover of Sieble)

#105I wonder if there's a name for this: that impatience and discomfort you feel about anything new until you understand what it is exactly and what to compare it to. Until that question is answered, you have ZERO patience for any marketing you read: especially fluffy visionary commentary about "digital transformation". You are quite literally making your readers angry because you are not answering their questions. For a…

It's an abuse prevention mechanism. We do not permit users to have multiple OpenShift Online accounts. See 2.1 in the OpenShift Online terms of service: https://www.openshift.com/legal/terms.html "You may not (or permit third parties to) create multiple accounts or otherwise access the Services in a manner that is intended to avoid Fees or to circumvent maximum capacity thresholds for the Services."
Then it's a bug right? The uniqueness check should be based on the part before the + sign.
I think it is OK to make a special case for Gmail and Google mail but it is counterproductive to try to crown it as a de facto standard.

Then they should have announced it when it was ready. There is now openshift.com (enterprise), openshift.org (OSS), and openshift.io (???) and none of these websites do a great job of explaining why you should be on that website and not the others.
You want everything explained, you want to use it for free and you don't want to participate. Everything that's wrong with the world ;-)
If you want customers, you have to actually convince them to try your product.
The expectation of a customer that they might want to understand what the heck they're signing up for... before they sign up for it is hardly controversial.
I think this thread makes it abundantly clear that a days work creating some screen casts instead of fluffing out some marketing fairyfloss would have significantly improved the reception of this product.
It's just plain marketing fail.
