●● Novell’s Contributions to Linux Drop Sharply

Posted in GNU/Linux, Kernel, Microsoft, Mono, Novell at 3:17 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Novell on the slippery slope of Microsoft versus Linux

THE numbers speak for themselves. It’s down to just 5.9% now (from 8.9%). On the other hand, rather than develop Linux for the Free software community Novell is now developing Mono to help Microsoft [1, 2, 3]. How things change over time. As we noted some months ago, Novell fires Linux developers whilst recruiting .NET/Mono talent. Even Novell’s management has taken some Microsoft executives on board. █
