Microsoft Corp.'s deal with Novell Inc. to support SUSE Linux on machines that run Windows doesn't mean that Microsoft is embracing Linux wholesale.

"This is to bridge the divide between open-source and proprietary-source software," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a news conference in San Francisco called to announce the move. "It gives customers greater flexibility in ways they have certainly been demanding."
