Re: Boycott Novell, DO NOT Buy, Use or Redistribute SUSE
It makes sense that Microsoft is interested in interoperation between Windows and Linux. Its pretty clear at this point that Linux on the server isn't going away, and their Windows server software isn't so popular that they can just ignore Linux.
In the past MS has been interested in standards when they didn't have a clear monopoly. Its only after crushing the competition that they turn to lock-in.
EDIT: I'd just like to add that I installed opensuse 10.2 with gnome on my new pc and I'm very pleased with it. They've put alot of thought and hard work into developing a good system GUI, but you stil have the bash shell if you prefer to do things a little faster. I'll stick with this until the next update for suse comes out.
