Mandriva/TurboLinux partnership raises questions
,----[ Quote ]
| The delay in the announcement is particularly interesting, especially for the
| fact that last October was also the month that Microsoft and TurboLinux
| entered into a collaboration agreement, complete with the ever-dubious patent
| agreements.
|
| Seeing as Mandriva had refused to enter such an agreement with Microsoft, it
| may have wanted the dust to settle on the Microsoft/TurboLinux deal before
| going public on the partnership. This was probably worsened by the fact that
| it was in open conflict with Microsoft over a deal with the Nigerian
| government. Mandriva accused the Redmondians of hijacking the deal, but
| eventually won the contract.

There are also many headlines about Sears' $199 Linux PC at the moment. Yes,
it's Linspire with Ballmer's 'kneecap tax'. Novell keeps eroding.
