Microsoft To Buy $100M More SUSE Support Vouchers

Posted by timothy on from the whole-lot-of-sweetness dept.

CWmike writes "Microsoft will buy and resell up to another $100 million worth of enterprise support subscriptions for Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system. Two years ago, Microsoft agreed to buy and resell $240 million worth of the vouchers. Susan Hauser, general manager of strategic partnerships and licensing at Microsoft, confirmed that some of the subscription vouchers were sold to customers for less than face value, though none were given away for free."

    It should be noted that "GNUChop" is one of twitter's sockpuppets, and that twitter has been seen lately falling over how awesome Roy "crapflooding USENET" Shitzforwits is and bragging about getting frist post. twitter also haz flowers.

    We can expect twitter to start pushing the "boycotteverything" Schez line from now on? Probably.
