Interesting.. definitely didn't see this coming...
Thoughts?
Keep your friends close and enemies closer. I like Microsoft but to all you Linux'ers out there, don't trust them. They are very anticompetitive.
"By getting their technology ("Intellectual Property", patents etc.) into SuSE Linux, the automatically get Novell and all of its SuSE customers hooked on MS IP. Then, other users will succumb, because they will see the features in SuSE and either migrate or demand it in their own distros.
Then, Microsoft goes back on the deal and wipes out corporate Linux, and probably forces all of those users on to Windows by some upgrade plan that's impossible to refuse.
Anyone remember OS/2? It was going to run DOS, Windows and OS/2 programs.
Then NT came along...
Plan B is if Windows dies, Microsoft has a foot in the door of corporate Linux."
Quote from a Slashdotter, I strongly agree.
