So what’s the point of it ? It renders Linux useless in such a situation.

According to Novell, Microsoft will make a lump sum payment to Novell in the amount of $240 million, which will buy Microsoft 70,000 subscription certificates for Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The plan calls for Microsoft to distribute these coupons to its Windows Server customer base so they can acquire and run SLES in virtual partitions using the upcoming “Viridian” hypervisor that will debut with Windows Server “Longhorn,” according to Novell’s SEC filing. It also pays for all SLES maintenance and support from Novell.
