Here are some choice quotes (from Eweek):

"If a customer says, 'Look, do we have liability for the use of your
patented work?' Essentially, If you're using non-SUSE Linux, then I'd
say the answer is yes," Ballmer said.
"I suspect that [customers] will take that issue up with their
distributor," Ballmer said. Or if customers are considering doing a
direct download of a non-SUSE Linux version, "they'll think twice about
that," he said.
"[They all] will have to face the issues and help their customers" in
the same way that Novell is, Ballmer said."
