There’s rumours on the Internet – and we all know what they mean…
Or do we? Have a look at Novell’s share price. Then have a look at some of the links on the right. Especially this one:
Novell Shares Spike 20% As Wall St Journal Reports Microsoft To Start Reselling SUSE LINUX
In a move that caused Red Hat shares to tumble 3.2% and Novell’s to surge by 20% in the same period of trading today, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft is going to start providing support for SUSE LINUX and that it is working too on Microsoft-Linux interoperability.
The news is due to be broken at a news conference today being given by Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive of Microsoft and Novell’s CEO Ron Hovsepian.
You can see the conference here. It’ll be on at 2:00pm Pacific Time, i.e. 10:00pm here in the UK.
