...we should hold off calling Novell scum...

I never called Novell scum. Stupid, misguided, doomed maybe. Microsoft, however, is scum, so when Novell does a deal with Microsoft, then Novell is tainted by Microsoft's reputation.

There are a lot of good people working for that company...

There are a lot of good and bright people working for Microsoft, yet they consistently do underhanded things and produce crappy products. If the leadership is bad, then a company can be far worse than what you'd think it should be by looking at the low-level tech workers.

Okay - we both believe Novell was almost certainly dumb/stupid and we both agree that Microsoft's de facto monopoly is a very bad thing(tm). Let me repeat - let's see how this pans out before saying "That's it, you're outta here". When it comes to it though, if Novell hurts the community then I say, sure torpedo away. Happy now?
