The only thing that is really bad about the Novel M$ deal is that M$ is going to try and claim that linux is thier intellectual property...and we "stole" their ideas which is really backwards...i guess it does show one thing though...M$ is getting scared of the rising open source community and software :D</p> jono, sorry for taking a little to reply but i never noticed that you replied.

Given that the FSF is rumored to be going after Novell, it's not difficult to make the case that Novell deployments could be at risk.

I don't think the free software community has space for the tiptoeing around Suse community feelings which we see so much from the ubuntu community. If the deal sucks, we don't tone it down because they might get offended, and we don't tone it down to compensate for Shuttleworth's gaffes.</p> Jono.

So yes, I agree Novell have screwed up with the MS deal, but that does not ruin their other good work such as this.</p> Collin – I agree that the deal between Novell and Microsoft sucks donkey balls, but I think that a large Linux desktop rollout for such a public company is gonna be good news for Linux and free software.

Lets keep our fingers crossed it goes ahead as planned. :)</p> James – I am pretty sure a roll out this big for a company will go ahead – government stuff that has a tender period often gets delayed, but I am pretty sure that Novell have inked this one with a likelyhood of implementation.

Since when did ‘announced that … will deploy’ mean ‘recent rollout’?

We’ve all heard declarations of intent before.
