After many years of trying that big technology companies supporting Linux, is that now everyone wants to Linux. If you remember a few days ago Dell announced they ship their PCs with Ubuntu, then Toshiba Europe is thinking about doing something similar. But selling this pc with Linux pre-installed will not stay here, Dell has just brought its support to another level Floss. It turns out that Dell now wants to become a partner in the Microsoft-Novell alliance.

While Linux users have protested against Microsoft (I consider myself one), Michael Dell has let his hobby by Ubuntu takes you to the limit, we now see that his intention is to purchase the Certificates of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Microsoft.

With this agreement the Texan giant becomes the first major hardware vendor to join the collaboration of Microsoft and Novell, and judging by recent news of Ubuntu, say that this agreement will help a lot to Dell's strategy and Floss.

That advantage is for the Floss

If we think carefully can be very beneficial to the community agreement. Recalling that discrimination towards Linux by the union business is due in large part, to threats by Microsoft to establish patent claims and concept copyright to business users of Linux, which, according to Ballmer himself there, but have never been tested.

That said, if Dell is soportanto Ubuntu and sign the agreement as a partner in this alliance, automatically I'd like to think that Ubuntu and its variants would be under the umbrella of the alliance.

In other words, any user automagically Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc would be free of any claims by Microsoft.
