Morning keynote, annoying the slashdot crowd

There was a slide that is guaranteed to annoy the slashdot crowd.


Note the bottom line:

• Reduced risk of deployment

This line implies that Novell believes Microsoft's IP is a risk to Linux. However, this one line was the only bullet point that was not verbally referred to in the keynote (that I remember). I suspect that this is the slide that Microsoft provided.

Another thing to note about Mr. Mundie's discussion was OSS. He referred to OSS as, "the university model of development," which further implies that it isn't good for industry. It was a subtle thing, but clearly more of the Microsoft line on this whole deal.
