<font size="2" face="Dialog">Secondly, I'd like to clarify that Microsoft is NOT selling Linux as the article states but have agreed to hand out 70k vouchers per year to their customers to try out SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. MS will still push windows as part of their business and Novell will push Linux as part of their business. MS and Novell have come together as a result of what the CUSTOMERS are demanding. Moreover, Daniel states that Novell is responding to increasing competition from RedHat which is also untrue as the growth numbers for SUSE vs RH will show you. </font> </p>
