Microsoft, through their words and actions, clearly want to destroy Linux. Novell is still not sure if they are a proprietary software company or an open source Linux company. Eventually they will have to decide. In the end Microsoft will consume them if they stay too close.

Agreed about the "eaten by Microsoft" thing, which, clearly, Novell management has still not figured out.
