You make the comment that "However, Novell has only invoiced $156 million of Microsoft's original $240 million certificate purchase, leaving 35% of the funds still unused." Yet you don't do the math on that $156M happening in the first 18 months or 30% of the deal term. Given that the use is running ahead of the timeline, it is easier to understand why the deal would be expanded.

Boycot novel !!
Miguel and the novell folks have lost their minds!!!
Linux a real Threat
Vista users switching back to XP, MS is a dead duck for operating systems and sees the open source community rolling out better desktops, servers goes without saying. Linux is built people who want to use it, M$ build by people who wanna take ur money. looks like microsoft are trying to buy there way into the Linux areana to me. Dont boycott Novell just avoid taking a contract with Microsoft - buy direct
Business users are getting a good deal
If you are an enterprise with a Windows network, what it means to you is a source of enterprise-grade Linux that you know will work well with your Microsoft software for a nice cheap price. This thanks to the hefty subsidies paid by Microsoft to Novell. What's not to love? (Read the rest of Microsoft Subnet's blog post on this deal here.)
Its not novell i am worried about
fair point math check but i think the guys at Microsoft have bigger interntions, why put money into apache? IIS is poor in comparision? Its the market leader?. They should keep their nose out an stick to the rubbish they market. Opensuse has come on leaps and bounds since novell come into play. But its fair to say that so have Ubuntu and Fedora as with many of the well managed distros. The open source community is a real threat to the microsoft money machine and i hope it continues without microsoft getting a foot in there
