Hm, good point. Even so, if it came down to a choice between SuSE being
bought by either Microsoft or VMware, I'd much rather see VMware aquire
it. I'm already disturbed that Microsoft has a relationship with SuSE;
I _really_ don't want to see them buy it.
And, unlike KSB, I *do* care, because we're running OpenSuSE here.
