It’s interesting that, given the scope and potential implications of Microsoft’s announcement, Matt’s first response is to go after Novell again. He does backtrack a bit after he notices that the pledge is only for non-commercial entities, but says nothing of the anti-Novell shot he took before fully digesting the details of the Microsoft announcement.

Speaking of “digesting the details of the Microsoft announcement,” as we wrote half an hour ago, it seems likely that Asay got used, exploited by Microsoft. He was not alone. █
