Isn’t it a world of surprises! Microsoft now has a pact with Novell to make their products work better with each other. I have not understood it entirely and I am not sure whether it is good or not. The phrases with patents sound an alarm, and it is quite possible that this will pose the Linux community against Novell. Earlier Microsoft has shows interest in open source. Hopefully it works for Microsoft, Novell and the user.
