Why does this suddenly make me very cautious about Novell products.. I'm sorry, just from experience & history I've grown to mistrust Microsoft and ANYONE that teams up with them.
I think this is more of Microsoft opening up and realizing the benefits this can have for them. I like to compare this to the RIAA and MPAA. As the technology evolves the **AA fights it instead of finding how to make it work in their favor. Microsoft, as much as you might hate them, are far more inteligent than the **AA. I think they are realizing that Linux is not something that will be disappearing as they may have hoped a couple years ago, and are now trying to figure out how to make this work for them. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
