    The Wall St. Journal reported that Microsoft will offer sales support for SUSE Linux as part of the announcement.”

    It also mentions better transitions from Open Office to Office. Something that I am waiting to see, and very hopeful for.

    Here is another article on it: sfgate

    It seems like MS views Suse as a Linux leader.
