| Poor Novell. First it got beat up by Microsoft. Then it got in a turf war

Can you see the bias?
So, this time he did not chracterise RMS as a weird guy with a beard and open
source as something that comes from "geeks". He did this before.
He has not yet descended to Dan's level yet (anonymous blog, SCO shilling,
anti-Stallman slurs in Forbes Magazine, and extensive use of words
like "freetards" in his blog). Forbes is virtually under Microsoft's control.

Bonds Pre-empts Novell's Big Night
,----[ Quote ]
| When Novell invited a dozen VARs to Wednesday night's San Francisco Giants
| game, the vendor was hoping that the prospect of Barry Bonds making history
| would be the sort of deal-sweetener that nicely lubricates the standard
| luxury box meet-and-greet.

That's the bonding Forbes is talking about, but there's also the IBM
collaboration. Hovsepian came from IBM, so he probably still have some special
friends there.
