Microsoft Sells Linux To Wal-Mart
Several readers wrote in to let us know that Wal-Mart is planning to buy SUSE Linux vouchers from Microsoft in the course of building out its infrastructure. These are the support vouchers that Microsoft must distribute to hold up its end of the bargain with Novell. Wal-Mart has been a customer of Red Hat Linux. CBR Online notes that the deal is not entirely unexpected because Microsoft's COO, Kevin Turner, is the former CIO of Wal-Mart.
I wonder how this will effect the industry adoption of Linux. Will more people follow Wal-Mart and go for SUSE?
I think your correct, it's a great way for M$ to yet again try to kill Linux off. I hope I am wrong but SUSE does look to be in the cross hairs, and it's likely that M$ would like to kill many birds with one stone. Good thing I can emerge -e world around that stone...
