Please do not make your opinion the whole community opinion. IBM's happy with the Novell-MS deal, as other's are also, since it benefits (potention) customers, who in the fist place asked for such an agreement. These specific customers are willing to migrate to Linux, so that benefits the community in the first place. Speading just FUD does not bring anyone anything. So what's the problem with OpenXML in Ecma, it does not make it a standard. ODF is also Ecma. IBM, Novell an others are also behind ODF, but also IBM has money in Novell to futher devel the Linux stragegy. OpenXML support is needed for customers migrating to a Linux desktop environment. So, in that way it benefits the community. Anyway, your not an OpenSUSE user so why do you care? Please may I remind you OpenSUSE is GPL and in my opnion a damn good Free disto.
