There's a true concern that comes when you consider the fact that Microsoft
claims certain distros have "obligations" (preposterous, of course). So in
some past speculations it was said that things like Moonlight, which only
Novell can distribute, will be used as a bait. Microsoft can try to make
distros which it does not like less viable.
Don't worry though. Microsoft is in poor shape at the moment. It bluffs a lot.
