Novell and Microsoft — Working Together for Customers

Well it's about time. It appears that my only reservation about Suse Linux has been ironed out. The two industry giants have called a truce and have promised to work together. The three main areas affected are:
1) Document format compatibility (MS Office and OpenOffice will be 100% compatible)
2) Virtualization (ie: running Windows stuff in Linux)
3) Web services for managing servers (ie: running both servers and managing them both at the same time)
If that's not enough, Microsoft is going to distribute coupons to buy Suse Enterprise to encourage people who want to use Linux to use Suse.
How could you POSSIBLY lose with that kind of endorsement? If you've got money, buy Novell stock while it's (relatively) cheap.
