I am surprised, perhaps even amazed that Novell would take this risk with such an untrustworthy "partner" as Microsoft. The industry is replete with examples, like IBM that did this to their cost.
Nevertheless, perhaps some good can come from this, especially if Microsoft stops trying to break Open Office.
Nothing good will ever come of a relationship with Microsoft. Name one in the past. Novell stock is sucking wind. Microsoft will do nothing but exploit this opportunity.
It does not bode well.
Goodbye, SUSE! As far as I am concerned, this is only a cover-up for the ultimate takeover of Novell. (Didn't I already suggest this many months ago?) Novell is in financial trouble, and has been for some time, isn't it? Cheers. -- "Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better." George W. Bush 24 September 2001
