Why do I want to purchase SUSE if a portion of my payment is going to be a royalty paid to Microsoft? I would be happy with royalties sent to the FSF, or ODSL, but I want to support free and open standards, formats, and protocols, not patent encumbered ones. This does not seem to help interoperability at all to me.
