A lot of very shallow IT news coverage is saying that.

My take:  Novell has just agreed to pay protection money through 2012 to
evade being sued for patent violation, leaving the rest of the Linux
community to face Microsoft's latest anticompetitive weapon of choice
without their assistance.  The rest of it's PR fluff.
