| The pact between Microsoft and Novell is primarily aimed at the
| growing number of major companies and government agencies that
| rely on both Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft's patent-protected
| Windows and Novell's open-source Linux platform to run their computers.
|
| To encourage more companies to choose Novell's open-source
| platform, Microsoft has promised not to file patent-rights
| lawsuits over any of its technology that's blended with Suse Linux.
