●● Novell and Microsoft Kiss in Public With New Domain

Rememeber the recent sighting of Turbolinux and Microsoft kissing in public, with insinuations that free open source software is somehow incompatible with the enterprise? The press release had Microsoft fingerprints all over it. Now, it’s Novell turn again.

This month’s Novell Linux Newsletter included a link to the Suse Team Blog which lists 40+ customers who “have decided to take advantage of the many benefits that the (MS/Novell) agreement brings to the table.” And who knew that there was a whole site dedicated to the lovefest? (Hint: Not me.)

Unfortunately, the site, moreinterop.com appears to be down at the moment…probably running IIS…

Dave is right with his guess. The site runs a purely on a Microsoft stack, which pretty much says who is most excited about this software patent deal, who is in charge in this relationship (the dominant spouse), and who gains the most.
