Novell and Microsoft ?

I'm not quite sure what to make of this news/rumors:

• (REUTERS) Microsoft, Novell reach agreement on Linux
• (WSJ) Microsoft Is Set to Give Linux a Boost Through Partnership With Novell

The best would be to wait for the offical annoucements from Novell and Microsoft (webcast), but sounds a littlebit like sup with the devil ;-) . We will see.

Update: Annoucement "Joint letter to the Open Source Community"
