Novell published a press release announcing their their collaboration with Microsoft. You can read the press release on this link: http://www.novell.com/news/press/item.jsp?id=1196 In a way Microsoft will be acting as a reseller for Novell. This might be an interesting partnership which would bring the best of two worlds for customers: user-friendliness of Windows and reliability of Linux. On the other hand I see little interest for Microsoft to promote competing operating system. Anyway, let's hope that this partnership will be fruitful and bring some interesting products on the market.

HP today announced its first dedicated storage blade, which provides customers with quick and efficient storage expansion to enable greater flexibility within IT infrastructures. The company also introduced two offerings within the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family to accelerate backup and recovery, reduce costs and make storage area networks (SANs) simpler to manage.
