Now it makes sense....

A number of things have been cleared up, that's for sure.

Now what makes sense - the Novel bashing?

I suppose its understandable - older folks remember Novel's attempts to monopolize networking and everybody gets nervous when Microsoft comes into your established neighborhood.

MS doesn't want Redhat to take to much of the corporate server space and Novel as an older company with senior patents makes sense as a partner.

This is like the Yankees helping a minor league team in Boston compete with the Red Sox to keep the Sox off balance - its hard to blame the little guy when a powerful ally comes knocking.

I don't feel any need to bash Novel.
