The appearance of support
,----[ Quote ]
| You really have to wonder why Novell has to rely on Microsoft's COO to
| sell its software, and why it would possibly entrust its corporate
| future to its biggest competitor. Sure, Novell sees this as an expedient
| way to bump off Red Hat and will deal with Microsoft later. Right.
| Novell's track record of beating Microsoft is...not so good. Letting
| them sell Novell's product on Microsoft's terms is a recipe for
| bankruptcy (as well it should be - Microsoft is doing what it's
| supposed to do: kill competitors).
|
| Eventually, Novell will recognize this. But it will be too late.
| In the meantime, it's nice to see that Microsoft's COO hasn't lost
| his Wal-Mart friends (he was CIO there, of course, before he
| joined Microsoft).
