After Microsoft "bought" OOXML support from Novell, the company's PR reps suggest that it is bad practice

Novell has announced an agreement with Microsoft to settle potential antitrust litigation related to Novell’s NetWare operating system in exchange for $536 million in cash.

The alliance between Microsoft Corp. and Novell Corp. continues to bear fruit three years after it was first signed, say the two companies -- one the world's largest proprietary software vendor, the other one of the largest open-source companies.

Novell's fast decline continues (and so does Microsoft's, its funding partner)

Among the companies which foolishly signed a software patent deal with Microsoft we have Novell and Kyocera-Mita. Both deals involved Linux specifically.

Novell discovers what it's like to work with a "partner" like Microsoft now that Novell employees are left to make Microsoft hooks work

In yesterday's conference in Europe, Novell was once again used as a selling point for Microsoft and lock-in

Novell continues echoing Microsoft more and more as times goes by (now re: OOXML)
