Work: Microsoft backs Novell's Linux platform

Never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime, however Microsoft announced that they back Novell's Linux platform.

Novell's stock jumped 20% today on this news. Good for me.

From Businessweek:

NOV. 2 8:32 P.M. ET Microsoft Corp. has embraced Novell Inc.'s open-source software platform, forming a technological truce between two longtime antagonists who want to make it easier for the still-dominant Windows operating system and the increasingly popular Linux system to work together.
