A Windows Vista with XGL Desktop Instead of Aero?

| What exactly is Microsoft wining from its partnership (and possible
| future acquisition) with Novell?
|
| Everybody knows today that the little Penguin just got a big hug from the
| big daddy, Microsoft. Novell was the lucky company to make its Linux
| distro available for interoperability with Windows, and to me, that
| was not a surprise. Actually, of all the companies out there providing
| open source solutions for individual customers or for enterprise,
| seemed to me the only one to be able to accept a treaty with the
| enemy.
|
| Novell was always a company that sort of tried to elude the GPL,
| beginning with their famous XGL desktop, developed "in house".
| They got a lot of criticism for that, although offering it
| progressively for Linux distros like Ubuntu, Kororaa or Knoppix
| dampened that criticism and eventually turned the company into a
| worldwide hero.
