Steve Ballmer to Make Announcement Today

November 2, 2006 |

2pm Pacific - Live Webcast

I guess this will be about the Microsoft/Novell/SuSE Linux partnership rumored on Marketwatch today. Steve Ballmer

Notes on the press conference

enhance interoperability between Linux and Windows
impetus comes from customers
Ballmer’s acknowledges that Linux is important
users demand interoperability
key areas: visualizations, document compatibility, interoperability
will make all apps more attractive to customers
intellectual property bridge

how to bridge differences?
solution:

respect both business models

business cooperation agreement: work on sales and marketing of collaborative solution

if you runs Suse - this is good news

makes business sense for both

vitalization is going to be big money

will compete, but also cooperate “in the right way”

Technorati tags: ballmer, microsoft, novell, linux
