Good point. They might just do that but only if Novell makes the right
moves to gain needed trust and support in the board room. If Novell's
strategy is to move along business as usual and ignore marketing to
Execs then Microsoft will probably use their market clout to crush them
- again. One thing that I've noticed about Microsoft over the years is
they only resort to work when they feel a real threat. (by the way, I
believe that Microsoft is still capable of real work, they're just a bit
rusty at it.)

Again, just my observations and opinions.
