Partly sarcastic, yet with an element of truth

At the beginning of this month we spotted Novell pretty much advertising Windows Vista. It has not quite ended there.

Whoa! The guy who is writing this is Novell Canada’s CTO! He’s an evangelist for the power of Linux and Open Source! Everyone knows that he’s a complete Machead too! How can he, of all people, defend Vista?

Well I hope that serves for introduction and initiation. Let me get to the point. I think the slamming of Vista comes from a certain perspective. Mine is different.

Perhaps Microsoft should start handing out free copies of Windows Vista to all Novell employees, just as it does with some journalists. Bury the hatchets, dual-boot with SUSE, and harbour Microsoft products is Novell's new strategy on the face of it.

When will Microsoft's CTO rave about his GNU/Linux installation out in the press? ⬆
