You might be right. Early reports on the street was that Novell caught MS in a clear infringement in Vista, and this deal had to be hurried up so Vista could be sent to manufacturing. That might explain why MS will pay Novell WAY more than Novell will pay MS, with the latter payments being a face-saving measure for MS. Oddly enough, this story was printed far and wide, but most trace back to http://blogs.sun.com/webmink/entry/the_morning_after so it might just be made up. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
