If you don't like Red Hat's support, choose another OSS vendor! Admittedly there aren't too many vendors from which to choose, and I'm not sure ALL of RHEL is open source, but at least in comparison to closed source vendors, open source is less risky. Also, I would be fascinated to hear more about SOA in healthcare. I'm skeptical of how we can get from here (custom-built-in-every-hospital HL7 interfaces, et al) to there (SOA, hopefully not custom built every time), but I think the potential of a functioning, standardized SOA is enormous.

What a fantastic interview with David, even TPD learned some new stuff that Red Hat now has for solution developers. Also David added valuable information on the SOA trend and the open source solutions movement which TPD has been commenting on in HIStalk posts. A well done interview! Wow!
