Novell Might Move Overseas to Lower Expenses (Running Costs)
Novell wants to “boost its presence” in India, which is not something that we criticise but merely point out. The news came from Reuters only hours ago.
Business software maker Novell Inc plans to invest $100 million in India over the next three years as it seeks to boost its presence in Asia’s third-largest economy, its chief executive said on Wednesday.
Bear in mind that over in the United States, large-scale Novell layoffs are still expected. There was a warning about it back in December, but those layoffs have not been announced yet.
Previously, we also saw American workforce of Novell getting replaced by a new workforce India. Do not be mistaken, however, for it is something that many companies appear to be doing, including Microsoft, which develops Windows 7 in India.
Microsoft India centre working on Windows 7
Designers and engineers at Microsoft R&D centre in India have a new mandate for development of Windows 7…
We wrote about the associated deception from Bill Gates not so long ago. In short, he deceives the public and the administration by insulting the intelligence of American engineers. This helps him justify cost-saving decisions made by Microsoft, due to increasing necessity. █
Highlight: Novell was the first to acknowledge that Microsoft FUD tactics had substance. Novell then used anti-Linux FUD to market itself. 
Highlight: Xandros let Microsoft make patent claims and brag about (paid-for) OOXML support. 
Highlight: Linspire's CEO not only fell into Microsoft arms, but he also assisted the company's attack on GNU/Linux. 
Highlight: Microsoft craves pseudo (proprietary) standards and gets its way using proxies and influence which it buys. 
Highlight: The invasion into the open source world is intended to leave Linux companies neglected, due to financial incentives from Microsoft. 
Analysis: Xen, an open source hypervisor, possibly fell victim to Microsoft's aggressive (and stealthy) acquisition-by-proxy strategy.
