Microsoft, Novell To Sell Linux Licenses In China (InformationWeek)

InformationWeek takes a look at an extension of the Novell-Microsoft pact into Chinese markets. Both want to convert unsupported Linux users into supported users of SUSE Linux. "Mirroring the companies' partnership in the West, Microsoft will buy certificates for SUSE Linux service and support from Novell and resell them to its Chinese customers. Microsoft and Novell also said they plan to host a series of roundtable discussions with corporate chief information officers in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing to promote the program."
