●● Survey: Novell Likely to be Acquired (by Microsoft?)

The Most Likely Not to Survive 2009

Novell is recruiting and appointing Microsoft employees or Microsoft-sympathetic figures to occupy top positions. At the same time, it viciously fights Microsoft rivals like Sun and Red Hat whilst veteran Novell engineer, Greg K-H, chooses to throw mud at Ubuntu/Canonical.

People have already explained the rationale of Microsoft buying Novell, so this is neither far fetched nor a figment of our imagination.
