Microsoft Microsoft has released its Virtual Machine Additions for Linux. "Virtual Machine Additions for Linux are designed to improve the usability and interoperability of running qualified Linux operating systems as guests or virtual machines of Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1." Red Hat and SUSE are the obvious supported guests.

Look... we all know that competitors frequently make deals with each other when they feel it is economically in their best interest. Case in point, MS/Novell.

This, on the other hand, is more akin to accusing someone of being an idiot, yet you go on to hire them to do your taxes for you. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. One action is invalidating the other.

Likewise, MS supporting Red Hat is like admitting that Red Hat is not doing anything wrong -- which is contrary to all of the comments by Ballmer.

I don't see why this is so hard to understand?
