The Microsoft/Novell deal

By NetworkWorld Co... on Fri, 11/03/06 - 10:38am.

Some reaction to the deal from around the technoblogosphere (no, I didn't just write that). What do you think?

Bruce Parens explains why he thinks it's a way for Microsoft to try to crush open source.

Jon Collins sees it as more of a way for Microsoft to get into true enterprise management, by giving it hooks into Unix environments.

Darth.net: You have to wonder if Microsoft is serious about this or are they just trying to smack Red Hat around a little bit.

Nick Selby sees it as a counter-measure to the Oracle/Red Hat folderol. But he adds: One has to wonder whether this is one of Novell's most astute move in years or its worst move ever.

Eric Mesa: Novell sells out.

Colin Brayton: Isn't that a bit like saying the Trojan
Horse bridged the divide between the Greeks and the Trojans?
