SUSE co-founder returns to Novell (Linux-Watch)
Linux-Watch reports that
Hubert Mantel has returned to Novell. "Mantel rejoined Novell in the
beginning of December. And, according to Novell spokesperson Kevan Barney,
he's already hard at work. Mantel is now the team leader of the kernel QA
team and he's "back in the swing of things with a full workload.""

Indeed, Mantel approves of the partnership. "I think it is a good thing especially for the users. If you think some years back, Linux was not taken seriously. Now even Microsoft acknowledges that it exists and will not go away," DMO quotes him as saying.

SUSE co-founder returns to Novell (Linux-Watch) Posted Dec 21, 2006 0:43 UTC (Thu) by TwoTimeGrime (guest, #11688) [Link] That quote goes both ways and is therefore really meaningless. That saying could be hanging on Steve Ballmer's office wall or the wall of every Microsoft employee. Who is "they"? "They" could be the Linux community. We ignored, laughed, and fought. Does that mean that MS is going to win next? And win what? Choice in operating systems is not a zero sum game.
