Microsoft and Novell at two: Was the patent pact worth it?
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat held firm and wouldn’t succumb to CEO Steve Ballmer’s infringement
| sabre-rattling. In March 2007, Yankee Group issued a study noting that
| Novell’s share was growing vis-a-vis Red Hat’s, and said Microsoft’s
| certificate distribution was the main reason. And Microsoft and Novell
| proudly touted customers who they claimed were eager to seek shelter from
| potential Microsoft patent lawsuits by signing up for SuSE Linux.

Yahkee Group??? Another lie? Like those other lies they produced months ago and
were forced to remove after complaints for being false? The same ones that
soon got mirrored in microsoft.com?
How about that bogus and 'cooked' study on satisfaction with the deal,
conducted by Novell and Microsoft? That too was ripped apart.
