Re: SuSE in bed with Bill
I'm in favour of cross platform compatibility but I think there are too many things that provide the opportunity for MS to stitch up Linux in general as a result of this at a later date.

For exampling selling/supporting a Linux system setup in such a way as to give worse performance than a Windows system they then sell to replace it. Anyone remember the MS "Get the facts" campaign and the rather skewed comparisons?

I'm not saying it's all bad (the interop work between the two Office platforms sounds good) it's just that on MS' track record I can't help but feel this is more the start of a long term play against Linux in general.
