The flip side has been summed up by Steve Ballmer in the conference this way :
« If anybody is confused by the end of the press conference, I'll say it now, you've got a new application that you want to instance, I'm going to tell you the right answer is Windows, Windows, Windows. »

Funny how reading the legal documents on the MS site and what MS execs actually said in the conference, is a tad different from the Novell FAQ. I don't see MS agreeing to any of the groundbreaking changes Novell advances to justify selling out.
