Your Story Title is Misleading.

http://www.novell.com/news/press/hsbc_taps_microsoft_novell_agreement_to_reduce_linux_cost_and_complexity

and tell me again how Novell is supporting "Windows cheaper than Linux" statement!?

The statement right there is valid - given (a) M$ Windows and Novell Suse only environment VERSUS (b) M$ Windows, Suse, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Mandrake etc Linux distribution environment, which of the two environments is supposed to have a lower TCO?

And I didn't see anywhere, where Novell admitted that "Windows is cheaper than Linux"!?
