| The release of the 2.6.33-rc7 prepatch 
| indicates that this development cycle is 
| headed toward a close, even if Linus thinks 
| that a -rc8 will be necessary. As has become 
| traditional, LWN has taken a look at some 
| statistics related to this cycle and where the 
| code came from.

Microsoft investment shows all is not well at Novell

,----[ Quote ]
| The extension of the deal indicates one thing - all the money which has been
| pumped into Novell so far is not yielding the returns which either company
| hoped for and it is now time to further subsidise SUSE Linux.
|
| Yes, subsidise SUSE Linux. That is the main game from Microsoft's
| perspective - the subsidising of a GNU/Linux distribution which Microsoft is
| slowly infiltrating and trying to control. All this talk about
| interoperability is so much window (pun intended) dressing.
|
| [...]
|
| As Novell is finding out, and will continue to discover, such deals are
| counter-productive to the bottom line.
