Whatever, with the big three at work, I would bet that it will happen and in such a way as for everyone involved (Suse, M$ and Dell) to make a buck or two.
This assumes that there will indeed be some "work" done. I don't see it that way.
I have not seen any positive outcome of the MS Novell agreement nor any hint of any to come.
Several big customers, who have been using Linux "secretly" before, now have admitted to using it.
Much posturing, but Balmer is still claiming Linux violates MS IP loudly and often. More often than before.
Any cites for this statement? Its just FUD.
The only thing that can come out of this deal is a proprietary product either for Microsoft or Novell. No new GPL software can emerge from this deal the way it is structured today.
You mean like the OpenOffice org VBA support? Oops, not proprietary. This deal is not about cooperation for a product, as should be very clear already. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
