It looks like Novell is using Suse as a pawn to protect their traditional IP. It looks like this move will likely be negative publicity for Suse, Novell and MS. The clear winner in the deal will likely be MS financially if they pull it off.
It really bothers me how the general public thinks Bill is such a philanthropic guy with his work in Africa when MS is continually embroiled in such unsavoury activities and hidden agendas. Either he is a really good guy and is socially totally inept and does not see what is happening in the corporation or he would make a great politician. Sorry, not trying to slam the company but would really like to understand where they are coming from. With all the news feeds headlines I get, the IT community thinks alliance is a good thing, however the Linux community thinks it is bad. So is there anything we can do to enlighten the general population (there are a lot more IT type people that read eWeek, PCMagazine then a blog on Groklaw or Linspire)?
