Summary: The "community" version of Microsoft Linux will have another release

OPENSUSE 12.2 is under development, still with the same leadership of the company that pays Microsoft for SUSE. Given that software patents are not legal in Europe for the time being, it would be foolish to support SUSE, but given this announcement as well as others, we are not too shocked to see some coverage, even from relatively Novell-hostile circles [1, 2, 3] (hopefully not warming up to SUSE). We have said this before and we ought to say it again: in order to prevent Microsoft from profiting from Linux we need to boycott SUSE. It's toxic. ⬆
