[link\|http://biz.yahoo.com/seekingalpha/070507/34712_id.htm\|Yahoo]: Dell says it's on board with the Microsoft and Novell Linux partnership. As part of the deal, Dell will buy SUSE Linux Enterprise Server certificates from Microsoft. It will also launch a services and marketing program to woo existing Linux users who are not Dell customers to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. My emphasis. Novell sure gave Microsoft an opening to muddle Linux IP. Alex When fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis

They are trying to unload them by undercutting Novell's price. Dell has just agreed to buy from the lowest price vendor should they happen to find a customer that wants any. As far as anyone can tell the "customer demand" that "resulted in this deal" has not materialized. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
