235 is the number, according to the chair thrower at Microsoft, nobody knows what the 235 be but after failing with Sco-x, and then Hiring dubious ex sco employees who would not know a doughnut from a sex toy its time to see whats going on the Linux mystical 235 action plays that Steve Balmer is playing like Darl McBride did until he failed while spending Microsoft’s cash.
There are three names here Novell (and Ron the ceo of Novell who gets the sex), Xandros and Linspire who sold there Linux foss souls to fud*. Thing is that the last two have now become one.
This is classic Microsoft EEE in action. It also proves that if both Linspire and Xandros both signed the same deal with the devil and something like this happens what does it say about co-operating with Microsoft. ? ‘run for the hills’ ?
I’m quite sure Novell will soon fail like the two smaller players have, its just going to take a little longer.
* if you don’t pay money to microsoft they threaten to throw chairs at it’s competition.
