Some time ago, Microsoft and Novell announced joint courses for GNU/Linux and Windows. Microsoft Watch has taken its time to comment on this arrangement.

Another funny item is the slide titled "A Joint Solution," which depicts a symbolic heterogeneous environment with a Windows logo hovering above six clip-art servers next to a SUSE logo sitting above three clip-art servers. That's probably the sort of ratio that Microsoft is hoping to see moving forward.

This interesting little observation reveals subtle clues.
