RedHat

I remember saying to a former supervisor and investor that RedHat was going to do well long-term and he should invest in it at the time of the IPO.

His response then?

"It's nothing but a hobby OS."

His response now?

"!%$#$@%^@#$%@#$^@#%"
And to think, over vaporware!

Not only that, but right now their marketshare is greater than all the rest of the Big Web combined:

Microsoft = $344Billion Google $220B

Market cap
Microsoft = $344Billion Google $220B
msft P/E 24.15
goog P/E 55.31

Even at $1,000 a share Google's market cap would still be below Microsoft's current market cap.
