In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft and Novell just entered into a partnership which is extremely beneficial to Linux. Instead of me trying to explain it, read Miguel de Icaza’s post, Joe Audette’s post, and/or the official Press Release.
Update: From what I can tell this is actually a bad thing. Seems Microsoft just wants to start getting money out of Linux vendors for patent protection. I don’t know… go read groklaw or something for a much better comentary.
