"Novell is not SCO. Novell is not the great anti-GPL. Get over it. I'm getting a little tired of the constant Novell-bashing. Do I think that Novell made a smart long term move by partnering up with Microsoft? No, I don't...What Novell is doing is a smart, short-term move. Novell makes a great Linux, but it's not been making great gains to go with it."
"Wow, I'm watching the webcast announcement of the partnership between Microsoft and Novell and I'm so happy I can hardly believe it! I'm a small stakes shareholder in both companies and happy from an investment standpoint but even more excited as a technologist and developer with a long history in development in the Microsoft platform and a more recent (past several years) experience in working with Linux having been drawn in by Mono, the open source project sponsored by Novell that allows me to use my Micorsoft .NET skills on Linux."
