The agreement between Novell and Microsoft that will have salespeople offering Windows and Linux to customers had triggered substantial criticism, to which Novell has responded.

A history of network competition and some contentious patent issues between the two companies have been overcome with the announcement that Microsoft and Novell will collaborate on making Vista and SuSE Linux more interoperable and manageable.

Novell claimed their move from ReiserFS to ext3 in SuSE Enterprise Linux was in the works before Hans Reiser was arrested on suspicion of murdering his estranged wife.

The services of CEO Jack Messman and CFO Joseph Tibbetts, Jr, are no longer required by the Orem, Utah-based technology company.

With an earnings announcement coming up on April 18th, Oracle founder Larry Ellison has been wondering whether his firm should pick up SuSE Linux by buying Novell.

Novell announced on Tuesday significant enhancements to the Xgl (X over OpenGL) graphics subsystem. Xgl is new core rendering technology for the Linux desktop that takes advantage of widely available accelerated 3D rendering hardware.

This is interesting, the Novell PR team is using a blog to augment their media program.

Novell is launching the beta version of what it calls the most rigorous training and examination program for Linux certification to meet data center requirements.
