Novell and Microsoft deal -- making progress
ENT News | at | by Mike
Novell and Microsoft on Monday presented an update on the two firms' progress in their November deal to make nice and work more closely together.
In what many industry observers termed as "hell freezing over," the two companies jointly announced last fall that they would de-escalate legal and marketing battles between the two in order to provide customers with better services and offerings. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will offer its corporate customers a chance to license its Windows operating system as part of a package offering maintenance and support for Novell's SuSE Linux operating system.
