Submission + - Novell CEO gives behind-the-scenes account of deal
raffe writes: Q&A with Ron Hovsepian CEO of Novell. He described 'a love-hate thing' between the two companies over at computerworld. From the article:
"This past May, I picked up the phone and called Kevin Turner, the COO at Microsoft. I knew Kevin when he was the CIO at Wal-Mart. I said, "Kevin, I'd like to have a conversation about what the customer needs. If you could put back on your old hat as a customer, if I came in and started talking to you about virtualization on Linux, and this Microsoft guy showed up and started talking to you about virtualization on Windows, what would you say to us?"
