Mmmm, just one of a many pertinent comments in there:

"It sounds a lot like the same old M$ tactic of
embrace+extend+extinguish. Suse is going to be Window$-friendly, and
Novell is heading for the Gates Trophy Wall, sharing space with all the
other corporate roadkill. Talk of dancing with the Devil..."

Indeed, and I think likewise. Thar be some very messy stuff ahead!

Regards,
Martin
