Saill, let me just answer briefly to your email: I'm glad to be at a company where we can discuss in an open environment. Be assured that we have discussions about the Microsoft/Novell deal on all levels. Just one example: last week Jeff Jaffe visited our offices in Nuernberg and Prague (this is where most of the development work for openSUSE happens) and discussed several hours with the complete team the whole deal in a very open discussion. I do believe that Jeff understands the issues. You might want to read his blog and comment there: http://www.novell.com/ctoblog/ , Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
