Strange Times
Today Microsoft has:
- suggested it might withdraw from China over human rights concerns
- improved Vista’s EULA from the user’s perspective and
- done a Linux friendly deal with Novell
I can’t wait to find out what they’re going to do tomorrow. I reckon there’s an ad in which Richard Stallman reveals himself as a Zune lover waiting in the wings.

Not forgetting Microsoft supporting an open source project to add ODF support to Word back in the summer.

Novell and Microsoft sittin in a tree though - that’s a good one.

Or as fakesteve put the Novell/Microsoft love fest …
“Right now you’re still Bill’s new girlfriend, strutting around in your high heels and short skirt and big diamond ring like the sexiest bitch in town. Wait till you get home and he shows you the collar and leash.”
