Novell's .Net moment

,----[ Quote ]
| Novell has struggled to compete in the open-source world. Combining with 
| Microsoft hasn't helped. So why not, as Dave suggests, link up with 
| Microsoft's .Net code to build an ecosystem around it that would complement 
| Microsoft's own efforts to do so?

| Let's face it: there are still hordes of developers out there who love 
| Microsoft and would probably prefer to create open-source projects 
| around .Net instead of Java or the LAMP stack. Novell could orchestrate this 
| since Microsoft appears to have a PR problem with doing so.

|     Next week's XML 2007 conference in Boston features speakers from all 
|     sides of the document format debate, including a document interop session 
|     with Miguel de Icaza (Novell) and Vijay Rajagopalan (Microsoft) that I 
|     expect will offer a lively discussion around Open XML, ODF, and XML-based 
|     interoperability in general.
