<p dir="ltr">It's not that bad. When Novell was SuSE lord and master, Novell bought a "licence" from M$ for some chunk of tech Redmond was claiming rights to. So there's a business history between them already .<br>
RedHat is far more of a threat than SuSE so there's no way M$ will "support" the use of RHEL in any form. Ubuntu is not yet seen as "data center ready" (nor are most other distros though Debian is used and Ubuntu is growing) so SLES gets the nod.<br>
