I'm glad that some journalists have blogs. Have a look...

Microsoft/Novell patent deal -- a customer doesn't speak
,----[ Quote ]
| I asked Matthew O'Neill, group head of distributed systems for HSBC
| global IT operations, whether he was ever worried about either Microsoft
| or Novell suing it for using the other company?s products.
|
| Before O'Neill could answer, however, Susan Hauser, general manager
| of strategic partnerships and licensing at Microsoft, chipped in to
| answer for him, giving the stock answer that the companies? customers
| had concerns about intellectual property and wanted peace of mind.
|
| Well here I was asking the companies' customer to explain his concerns
| about intellectual property and he wasn?t being given a chance to
| speak. Eventually he did make his feelings known, but it would seem
| HSBC isn?t as concerned about IP infringement as Microsoft.
