Novell+Microsoft BFF Site

| This month's Novell Linux Newsletter included a link to the Suse Team Blog

| Unfortunately, the site, moreinterop.com appears to be down at the
| moment...probably running IIS...

It's IIS indeed (because Novell is the enslaved party among the two). There's

GNOME, OOXML, and Half-Truths Colliding in the Night

| Can anything except the lapse of time end this debate? Not easily. But a
| starting point might be a recognition on both sides that, in the absence of
| solid evidence, the other is more misguided than evil or paranoid. Those
| denouncing the GNOME Foundation need to resist the temptation to diagram
| conspiracy theories, while the GNOME Foundation needs to act in a more open
| and responsive manner, instead of like a corporate board of directors putting
| down a stockholder's revolt.
