Microsoft bides to take over the world.. again..

The low down is that Novell had some patent dirt on Microsoft which forced Microsoft over to the table. At least that's what I get from the blog of the Chief Open Source Officer at Sun Microsystems.

Read the joint letter from Microsoft-Novell here and puke(laughing is not an option) at the absurd reality that it seems to portray. Idiots.

I'm no genius but... Isn't there a conflict with the GPL here? GPL and Microsoft. It's a contradiction in terms. Read more about that here.

We all know how Microsoft works. They enter deals or buy out a partner, and then kill them off slowly. Novells guarantees itself a few safe years but also guarantees it's own death immediately thereafter as noted by this blog.
