Red Hat officials have big business plans for JBoss (eWeek)

At the JBoss World 2008 tradeshow Feb. 13 in Orlando, Fla., Whitehurst said Red Hat plans not only for JBoss Enterprise Middleware to take 50 percent of the enterprise middleware market by 2015, but for JBoss' revenue to grow twice as fast as Red Hat's flagship Linux operating system during the next three years.
