Novell-Microsoft Deal Necessary, CEO Says

08/09/2007  
Relevance: 7.16
Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian explained rather than defended his company's deal with Microsoft in his keynote address at the annual LinuxWorld Conference here Aug. 8."I know our deal with Microsoft is controversial, but it is necessary for our customers who have to deal with both Linux and Windows in their data centers. Virtualization is also going to have to deal with both of those operating systems," he told attendees.

A Question About the Novell-Microsoft Deal

09/05/2008  
Relevance: 6.55
I've been thinking about something for a few days now. It's about the latest Novell-Microsoft deal that was announced on August 20, where Microsoft agreed to buy another $100 million worth of vouchers from Novell. I was wondering: how come two public companies can make a deal that seems to me to be material and yet keep pieces of the deal secret?

Is there a secret story behind the Novell/Microsoft deal?

02/17/2007  
Relevance: 5.57
Was the Novell/Microsoft deal a worthwhile well-meaning effort between renegade open-source geeks at Microsoft and geeks at Novell that got derailed by salespeople and management, after which it was turned into a nightmare deal with the devil? I raise this question because I know someone with ties to people at both Microsoft and Novell. He has a credible story to tell about what really happened, and how much it differs from what we now know about the Novell/Microsoft deal. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get him to write up the history - yet. While I continue to pester him, here's the short version, third hand.[Actually, it sounds like what happens all too often in the everyday, rough-and-tumble business world. - dcparris]

A five year deal with Micosoft to dump Novell/SUSE

11/09/2006  
Relevance: 5.55
Wake up little SUSE, Wake up. No, that's not good enough. Wake up SUSE customers, wake up. Novell is jeopardizing the future of Linux for its own short-term rewards. If you want to see Linux flourish, let alone survive after Novell's five year deal with Microsoft expires, I suggest we make an alternative five year deal with Microsoft. In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise.

The New Distro

How much does it cost to buy you? Do you have a price? Can you be paid off?I'm sure many of the CEO's and CTO's of various Linux companies are now asking themselves this very question this week (or should be asking themselves) as Microsoft announced yet another"patent deal"...this time,with LG Electronics.With this, theXandros deal, the Novell Deal, and anything else Microsoft has up its sleeve (I look for several other distros to"indemnify" themselves in the next few months...for example, Linspire and Mandriva are two prime targets for MS...the bullseye is probably painted) I think that Microsoft has created it's own"Linux Distribution" so to speak. Let me share with you why I think they have...
