Microsoft and Novell have made good on their 2006 interoperability pact. Microsoft and Novell jointly announced that Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise has been optimized to run as an "enlightened" guest on Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor platform. Windows Server 2008 customers have been able to run as a virtualized guest on SUSE since last June, when SUSE became the first member of Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program, which Novell has helped to fine-tune. Now SUSE is optimized to run on Microsoft's Hyper-V as well.

The real concern is around the patent deal which creates a unhealthy imbalance as expressed by Eben Moglen from Software Freedom Law Center in

The only thing you hurt when one refuses to 'play ball' with the establishment is yourself. There are patents on technology; some of them legitimate, others just owned by patent trolling companies. Until Linux vendors work as official software companies and work with other vendors to sort this issue out - it helps no one doing what Red Hat is doing, namely, sitting on the side lines spitting and cursing at Microsoft/Novell.
Microsoft technology is here to stay whether Red Hat and the open source devotee's on this website like it or not.If you want to compete with Microsoft - create a better and superior widget. When Microsoft create a product, stop spitting and cursing at the customers who purchase it or Microsoft - get a copy of the product yourself and analyse it. Find out why customers want it, and create a better version of it.
Take Microsoft Office/Sharepoint integration, why don't we see an OpenOffice.org version of that? why don't we see an end to end solution in the opensource world to the Office System? too much time spitting at Microsoft than doing something productive? too much complaining about patents than listening and addressing what customers needs are?
