Signing a contract with Microsoft does not make a company a bad company. All they want to do is protect their customers -- may be they believe there are patent violations in the open source world? I don't know. Novell is a commercial company and Linux without the support of commercial companies such as Novell and IBM will not prevail.
Lets see what happens if MS decides to threaten legal actions? Novell customers would be protected and by saying customers, I mean big organizations that heavily utilize Novell's Linux based tools. Now is that a bad thing or good? You be the judge.
