No, the support will come from Novell. Microsoft will only sell licenses (and obviously only to customers who insist on running linux, don't expect them to push this hard)
Microsoft will hand out scraps of paper. They will not SELL anything. Go back ad read the announcement again.
Who gives a rat's whether BG sells or gives away the slips of paper he buys from Novell? He's got enough money as it is. He is facilitating and soothing anxiety for his customers who want or need the LINUX solution. It is a bridge for both companies. I've disliked MS since they crushed CPM, but this seems like a business fact of life solution. My concern is that somehow unknown to us he thinks this is a method to crush the GPL.
