This really sickens me. While not a big fan of Suse or Redhat, i do appreciate the good work RH has done in making Linux more of a mainstream server OS option.

Microsoft is spending less than $500m on its ground-breaking deal with Novell to promote SuSE Linux and shut Red Hat out of Windows accounts."

/start conspiracy theory

MS is trying to create a fractured Linux market where by they created Novell Linux version which is 99.99% compatible with MS stuff and the rest. The usual embrace, extend, and eliminate strategy.

hmmm

I'll be happy when Windows has native Novell support.
