MS / Suse partnership

A strange alliance happened this past week when Steve Ballmer announced that MS will support Suse Linux on Windows machines and would co-develop technologies that would better interoperate on both the platforms.
The alliance focuses on three key areas for technical collaboration:
1. virtualization,
2. Web services management and
3. The Open Document Framework spec.
Though this deal threatens RedHat's lead position, RedHat seem to have taken this deal in a very positive sense claiming that this deal is a victory for linux.
