Microsoft ended three years of resistance on Monday and finally agreed to comply with a landmark 2004 antitrust decision by the European Commission. The defeated software giant announced it would not appeal against a decisive European Union court ruling two months ago that backed the Commission.

Not that the argument is relevant anyways, but Novell doesn't charge for SLED/SLES any more than Red Hat charges for RHEL, they are both service driven models.

OK, fair enough. RHEL and SLED both charge for support contracts, not for software. "Samba code" is not part of "support services", so the price of the product "Samba" in both RHEL and SLED is $0.

So, does anyone actually charge money for something wich includes Samba as part of the product that is being charged for?

Xandros? Linspire?

Anyone?

0.4% of exactly what, Microsoft?
