Let it go how many time are people going to beat that same dead horse.
Microsoft/novell, novell/microsoft can anyone just comment on the technology. Some people actually want to have a technological discussion not the same political discussion every day!
Why don't we try addressing the technical merit of this release! Seriously the microsoft/novell topics/jokes have been the same for like a year now!

There can NOT be a discussion as long as there is a sizable number of Linux trolls that exist. These morons do not give a damn about Linux, they only care about being anti-Microsoft because it is "cool". The next "cool" OS that comes along, they will dump Linux in a heartbeat. Frankly I hope the day comes soon that these kiddies just grow up and move along. If Linux's only merit is to be the anti-Windows, then it should die as an OS. But if it is an OS that has merits worth using, then it is completely irrelevant whether Microsoft exists in this world.
But Microsoft does exist, and Novell has wisely positioned themselves to the reality of this world that co-existence is a necessity. I can say first hand that Novell could care less about the anti-Microsoft zealots. They will neither use or pay for their products anyways. Businesses on the other hand will, and they will do what is necessary to please their customers.
While this specific product is beyond the scope and requirements of most of our clients, I still support anything Novell can do to strengthen their business as in the end it will benefit our clients and ourselves as well.
