Well, I'm very curious (and also a bit excited) about this rather "unexpected" partnership, since I do not think it's necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe some degree of cooperation between Win and Linux may turn useful for users of both systems, after all. For now, I feel the best position is wait and see...

Yes, with linux, not with Novell or Ubuntu or Xandros ot Linspire.... This is a distruptive move for the ecosistem.

Partnership with the devil

Can you point out one good thing that has come out of a partnership with Microsoft? No, I don't consider Office for Mac a good thing. $0.5 B indemnifications could be, but often they come too late to solve anything.
