I'll guess Linux community.  We let Micrsoft go sell SuSE so that they can 
run virtualized Windows instances on it because the corp wants Exchange. 
Then it becomes much faster to run the server directly on SuSE than to go 
through that silly virtualization :)

I think this whole thing has been blown out of context.  The reality is 
that now Novell can go to customers who had "legal concerns" about buying 
Linux and say "nope, don't worry about it."  This is far easier than 
actually educating those customers that thier legal concerns are 
unjustified.
