Not only that. If they had a clue they wouldn't have needed to acquire the company in the first place.

Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. was IBM CEO when Red Hat was founded in 1993 (plus or minus 6 months because I am lazy and I don't want to look up specific dates). Having a clue and having a time machine are very different things.
