Let this one speak for itself.

Novell’s Microsoft dealmaker chides Red Hat

The Novell executive who architected an historic technology and intellectual property agreement with Microsoft has scolded rival Red Hat for not being innovative and warned Oracle’s Linux play will fragment the company’s operating system.

Try to recall when Novell entered the Linux market. Then remind yourselves when Red Hat entered (and grew) the Linux market. Given Novell’s impact on Red Hat — especially through its deal with Microsoft — this is quite a Chutzpah, isn’t it? Novell takes cheap shots at Red Hat now, having made a deal which it admitted was selfish (i.e. damaging to Linux as a whole).

Update: Watch how Novell gets slammed over this. It is also being accused of spreading FUD.
