Novell Takes A Resignation : Google Gains Another Great Mind

« H E » email

posted 22 December 2006, Friday

Jeremy Allison resigns from Novell over a perception that Microsoft is a paralizing force on Open Source from the Novell Windows/SUSE agreement.

The problem I see is that Microsoft purchased 350,000 copies of Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and promised not to sue SUSE users for patent infringement. It's awlful nice of Microsoft to purchase 350,000 copies of SUS Enterprise Server to save the SUSE users from a horrible law suit on the usage of patent infringement.

Nonetheless, Jeremy left Novell and appears to have made his statement and landed in Google.

What is up the Microsoft sleeve?

That was nice of Microsoft, wasn't it. Right after the agreement was signed (the we won't sue your users for violating our patents); Balmer's mouthing off about it. This was a bad idea for Novell. Microsoft's entire game plan is to steal code from open source; Microsoft NEVER does anything that is not in Microsoft's best interest.

Anybody remember the deal they made with Apple before Windows came out?? Hum?

Further thoughts. Don't blame me J, you got me started!

I started my career using Unix back in the 80's, the first version I purchased for a client and for development was a product called "Xenix" from MS. Great version of Unix, ran fantastic. I had client computers running this puppy (without shut-downs or crashes, or restarts) for years (of uptime, yes years).

MS is short sighted, why did they not use a Unix based os instead of creating DOS/Windows/NT, etc. They knew it was a better product, and they had the code to steel back then.
