Microsoft/Novell Partnership

[Rick Tomaschuk]

Microsoft is like a perpetual fart in a closed room. For some reason
they don't want the rest of us to breathe fresh air without their
permission...

"This really isn't that hard. If you're going to kill someone there
isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry -- you just
pull the trigger. Angry discussions before hand are a waste of time. We
need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger." -Former Microsoft VP
James Allchin in a 09-9-91 e-mail (as revealed in Caldera v. Microsoft)
