Pinch me...

When I first heard it today I thought it was a joke. Microsoft and Novell come to an agreement? And Microsoft is going to recommend SUSE Linux Enterprise to their customers!? Apparently, it is all true. I can't help but have a healthy bit of skepticism, but overall I think this is a good thing. Amazing, really, but really good to see. If you read Novell and Microsoft's open letter to the open source community you see that Microsoft will actually pay engineers to work on open source software. They have funded some open source projects before, but afaik they don't pay open source developers. Very tired right now, but will write more tomorrow.
