Regardless what YOU like, its a fact of life that people have/want to run windows and linux in the same corporate environment.
This isn't about you Joe User sitting at your linux box.
Microsoft is offering to assist Novel in getting virtualization working.
Microsoft has a product for this as does Novel, and both of them are getting their asses kicked by Vmware.
But its a hollow agreement. Microsoft Vista license ALREADY FORBIDS VISTA USE IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE.
I guess the real question is whether VISTA will run in a virtual machine or not, as opposed to the MS EULA restriction.
Novel got sold a pig in a poke.
Time will tell.
