Just want to point out that Red Hat is definitely participating in the
OpenStack community, there's even a Red Hatter on the Nova Core team :) Right
now a lot of us are focused on making Openstack and Fedora work great
together. Essex will even be advertised as a primary feature of the upcoming
Fedora release, see the relevant Fedora 17 feature pages (well,
work-in-progress marketing pages really):

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_using_libguestfs
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_Quantum
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack_Horizon

(This is all completely tangential to the topic of a microsoft/red hat support
guarantee, since I have no idea how that works :) )

Thanks,
