[mdlug] Novell + Microsoft press release: Windows is cheaper than Linux

[Brian Hurley]

I thought we were discussing the article about the press release, not the 
Novell/MS deal.  You're clearly angry with Novell, therefore everything they 
do is evil and alienating. 

I consider myself a member of the open source community and I'm not alienated.

But then again a shill like me would say that, eh?
