Novell: in it for the interop, not the money
,----[ Quote ]
| While the poll of 201 IT executives with "significant" purchasing power
| found near unanimous support for interoperability between Linux and
| Windows, relatively few said they'd actually pick Novell's SuSE Linux
| Server (SLES) as a result of the deal.

Microsoft Press Releases: Read Between the Lines
,----[ Quote ]
| Our point: Microsoft has a long history of using press releases to
| promote their product momentum in shall we say interesting ways, using
| words like "fastest growing" (meaning, the number we started with was
| really really small) to redefining words such as "sold." It's not
| good marketing practice. Why? Because once consumers and press
| people figure out you are playing lawyer, they stop believing you
| and your brand. And that's more likely to do you harm than good.
