●● Novell’s Love for Sale
Posted in Dell, FUD, GNU/Linux, Novell, Ron Hovsepian, SLES/SLED at 9:28 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
It appears as though Novell is actively pursuing OEMs.
Novell believes it can hit a pricing sweet spot with Linux on the enterprise desktop and remains in talks with top OEMs — including Dell — about preloading SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 on PC clients.
Meanwhile, the Laura DiDio shill has begun spreading some subtle FUD to discourage Dell’s Linux affinity (article in LinuxInsider yesterday). She joins other familiar Microsoft shills such as Rob Enderle, who has been doing this for quite some time, even by paying for its writings to appear as press releases. One thing is clear. Behind Novell’s back, Microsoft still plays hardball, so what was the point of their deal?

“Microsoft Corp is using scare tactics to exert pressure on PC vendors not to explore the potential of desktop Linux”, according to Novell Inc president and COO, Ron Hovsepian.
