"Finally. For years, the holy grail of the Linux desktop has been to get a major computer vendor to commit to preloading a Linux desktop. It finally happened. On August 4th, we found out that Lenovo Group, the company that has taken over IBM's Personal Computing Division, had made a deal with Novell to preload SLED 10 on its ThinkPad T60p mobile workstation. For the first time, a major OEM has committed to preloading a Linux desktop."

Microsoft said they won't preload Google Desktop with their operating system, and somehow Lenovo ships it anyway.
The ones distributing SLED here are Lenovo, not Novell. They can ship whatever they want, as long as they respect the license of the software they'll be shipping.
