Novell and Microsoft, Good deal or bad ?

Check out the webcast:

Microsoft also has a link but didn’t reveal as much.

The recently announced deal between these two companies caught my attention since Linux and Microsoft where mentioned in the same sentence.

Here is what I got out of it: Microsoft “promises” not to sue Novell/SuSe Enterprise Linux users and Novell/SuSe agrees not to counter sue.

Why did Microsoft make this deal only with Novell?

Does this means that all other Linux users may be in the cross-hairs of MS lawyers?

If you are a CTO/CIO, are you now going to switch to/from SuSe? If so Why or why not? (This not a 5,000 word essay question you will not be graded).
