MS pays Novell $100m for Linux vouchers. See, Linux is so good even MS spent millions on it.

Yeah, Latch, I can see how that is working for Novell Back when the agreement was signed it was a $9+ dollar stock. Today, it is a sub $6 dollar stock - a 40% hair cut in its share price and continued negative EPS, margins, and income.

Meanwhile, Microsoft gets the EU off it back by quelling a perenial whiner.

By the way, $100 million dollars is less than a day's revenue for Microsoft.

#2: So what you're trying to say is that it looks good on MS to be seen with Novell, but it looks bad on Novell to be seen with MS? ;) Novell should have kept it on the down-low.
