WE HAVE ALREADY commented on the latest release last night. TechGeek writes: "Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the deal between Microsoft and Novell didn't cover OpenSuse. But I don't know for sure." Well, it didn't. But into OpenSUSE goes the poisonware (free-but-Microsoft-patents-encumbered software) anyway.
As well Novell includes support for Microsoft Excel VBA, and integration with Novell's Mono project. Mono is a Novell led effort to enable Microsoft .NET on Linux.
The Mono effort has also led to a Novell effort called Moonlight which is an attempt to enable Microsoft's Silverlight media framework on Linux. The first public beta for Moonlight came out in December. Moonlight is not, however, part of the openSUSE 11.1 release. Brockmeier explained that Moonlight isn't part of the release mostly due to timing issues as the Beta came out after openSUSE hit is feature freeze.
