Some months ago we
highlighted what initially seems like Novell endorsement for Windows Vista. Novell is still quite Windows- and
Microsoft-dependent.
The Web page in Novell's Web site seems to have changed or expanded. It is even more promotional than before, with the exception of a bizarre image.
Scott Ruecker at LXer says: "
This is an advertisment for Vista on the Novell website. I especially like the line "Migrating to Vista? We can help you make the leap" alongside a picture of man in suit and tie plummeting to the earth off a tall building. Equally helpful was the ominous exhortation "Prepare now, Windows Vista is coming"."
Discussion
here, for those who wish to know more about this "advertisment for Vista on the Novell website."

The Novell and Microsoft 'pact' is like the Corel and Microsoft 'pact'.
Microsoft and Corel joined forces long ago and Corel was still warm and happy over the idea of working with Microsoft and increasing interoperability with Linux and Windows.
Oh! The software which would be ported to Linux! Oh! The progress Wine was making!
The wise among us knew this Novell and Microsoft cocksuck (let's call it for what it is) was very similar to the Corel incident, and more and more as time goes by this is becoming clear. Look at Corel's website today: Gone are the numerous mentions of Linux, Wine, and what happened to all of those applications they were going to port? When Corel Linux became Xandros, it wasn't long before they entered into an agreement (over patents) with Microsoft, so the circle was complete.
Give it a few years, and Novell's website will be another shell inhabited by shills just as Corel's site appears today. It's like the predator insects who inject eggs into the worms and the worm hatches inside and slowly consumed the host.
