Star Microsoft: Novell Deal a Milestone Despite Squabbles
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 12th Feb 2007 18:26 UTC, submitted by flanque
Microsoft Microsoft has sold more certificates for Novell Linux software and support in the three months since the deal was signed than it anticipated, according to a company representative. The software giant initially laid plans for up to 70000 certificates in the first year. In the first three months, it has already sold more than 35000. Microsoft lawyer Brad Smith is also looking for pacts with other companies that distribute Linux or use it in their products.

"Customers have the last word"

What does that mean. Are you saying that because customers have bought the certificates that they are a good thing, or even that customers "wanted" to buy them?

I'm not disagreeing with you yet, because I'm not sure what you really mean.

Sounds like someone is in denial about the illusion of freedom as well ;)
