    Novell has neglected to learn from history:

    [Allchin, a very senior Microsoft manager:] “We need to slaughter Novell before they get stronger… If you’re going to kill someone, there isn’t much reason to get all worked up about it and angry. You just pull the trigger. Any discussions beforehand are a waste of time. We need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger."

    I used to be a member of the Novell community, mind you. But I'll never forgive its management for what it did to GNU and Linux devs.
