Microsoft will buy $100 million worth of Linux support
certificates from Novell to redistribute to Microsoft Windows Server customers
for Novell for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Novell has promised "tools, support, training and

interoperability" with Microsoft Windows Server. The deal is a continuation of a five-year Microsoft and
