right, novell marketing folks? Can you read this? If you can, remind
next time to not PAY the people that are trying to bring down your
company, product and your salary

2 inaccuracies here:

1)really that is not how marketing works. You notice that Microsoft
brings adverts to Linux-focused publications. Why? Because advertising
is about "eyeballs" and name recognition.

2)"Slashdot" is NOT trying to "bring down Novell". How siully. There
are some Slashdot submitters/editors that have this bias, yes. But, I
look at Slashdot each day (I find it a convenient and sometimes
interesting sweep of thing going on) and I must say that I have also
seen some Suse-positive posts and plenty of positive comments to even
the posts that are negative. "Slashdot" is a business ..."they" as an
entity could care less about the fate of Suse.

Finally, I agree that the tone of the slashdot post was ridiculous.
The title "Open Suse hobbled by Microsoft patent agreement" or some
such thing ... plain absurd. Just wrong. The poster (who may have had
an agenda, who knows) failed to do even a tiny bit of looking into the
thing.

PS -- please, the name calling and "shouting" at each other is boring.
If you have a take, state it, and then if others argue against it,
argue with a tiny bit of civility. Please.
