| But Weiss points to last November’s Novell-Microsoft deal, in which the two
| agreed to collaborate on the development of some technologies, including
| trying to help Windows work with Novell’s open-source Suse.

| “When this happened, there was a lot of disillusionment in the market and a
| lot of Suse developers left on the principle that they wouldn’t work for a
| company that has these agreements with proprietary vendors,” Weiss says.

Novell is still trying to hide the fact that many SUSE developers were leaving.
