This thing reads like the bullet points of Microsoft marketing training papers. It's the same old stuff, right down to the tired FUD about "integrate[d]" suites. There must be a regular stampede away from the cages, if MS is down to recycling FUD this old.

It is shameful for Novell to participate in this stuff (they've even dropped "agree to disagree" in joint "IP" FUD with MSFT) -- but at least Tim O'Reilly is out there selling expensive reports on the pro-freedom side.
The co-organizer of the event is a very large law firm, DLA Piper, which has been hired for lobbying by such anti-freedom clients as the RIAA, Reed Elsevier Inc, and Time Warner.
