Three Takers Named for Microsoft's Linux Support
narramissic writes "According to an article on ITworld, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank AG, and AIG Technologies have signed on for Microsoft's technical support for Novell Inc.'s Suse Enterprise Linux. This follows last month's announcement of a deal between Novell and Microsoft that Steve Ballmer described as an effort to 'bridge the divide between open-source and proprietary-source software.' None of the companies cited the price of the support certificates, nor would they say how many they were activating. Even more interesting, Credit Suisse is a brand new cusomter for Novell."
It's a cookbook!
If you disagree with me on social issues, then it's pretty clear that you are a narrow-minded bigot.
Now Novell will have to introduce random behaving bugs in his packages lest the microsoft support guys feel disoriented.

Yes, because Microsoft's Windows support is such a sterling example of quality, I can see where companies would have to be literally fended off with dead chickens from taking this deal.

What your missing is that this is even better. MS sold them Novells support.
This is like having a Mercedes and have it serviced by Kia.

Naw, I like Neal Stephenson's analogy, because then it would be like having an M1 tank, made of space-age materials and jammed with sophisticated technology from one end to the other, that's been modified in such a way that it never, ever breaks down, is light and maneuverable enough to use on ordinary streets, and uses no more fuel than a subcompact car, and taking it to a station wagon car company to have it serviced.
