Are you grasping straws? Or just flailing out where-ever?
Doesn't Novell have some final say-so on SuSE, since the first step to their SLED product? I'd be surprised if they were not at least on the steering committee if not some more involved role, considering it's what feeds their prime linux offering. I'm not saying it is a good or a bad thing... just saying... am I befuddled? I also noticed it trying to interoperate using the same new technologies my Win7 box came sprouting. Some where in Vista, but I didn't have one of those. I can't help but think there might not be some business strategy meetings between MS and Novell -- not necessarily to our deficits, either. They appear to be moving in open standard/open source space, so it would seem to all be for the good (perhaps to the chagrin of those who don't like the Novell-MS deal). But regardless, it would make sense for Novell's OS offerings to interoperate with MS's offereings -- especially they want to sell each others products (which I think was part of the deal? No?) I certainly don't think that is a bad thing as long as open-standards are maintained. -l -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
