It is almost two years since the initial deal between Novell and Microsoft. What happened ? What har has come to Linux users ? To Microsoft customers ? I don't see any.
Only thing I noticed recently is that I am able to write VB.Net program on Linux and run it on Windows. I am able to deploy ASP.NET web application on Apache. I think that 2 years ago it worked with C# only. Yes, recently I had need for that, and, to my surprise, it worked. As far as I am concerned it's a good thing.
On the other hand, SCO threat was removed couple of years ago. Destroying SCO doesn't mean much to Linux any more.
I think that original post was more about ideology and politics, and less about computers and IT.
