Probably indentical. Same wire, same release. Good news to Linux. No
"Microsoft" and "intellectual property" in the text.
Novell shows here that it doesn't need Microsoft to sell Linux. Why did it
take Microsoft big bait in the first place?
As Jeremy Allison said:
"I'm sad [about the deal with Microsoft] because I don?t think we needed to
do this. We were gaining a lot of traction with SuSE Linux desktop, and from
my perspective (admittedly not high up in the company hierarchy with views
on revenue) we were winning. We had a good product, I was always extremely
busy with new customer requirements, and was personally involved in winning
new customers for SLED and SLES. It just feels to me like snatching defeat
from the jaws of victory."
