they are concentrating more on virtualization to work linux in windows while started, and vice versa.

I dont know whether this could be an open source. But Novell said it would be a low paid for updates, and other stuffs. So surely they would fix the cost for enterprise editions, thats normal. May be this will work as a shovel to pick up all the problems and dusts on complex cross platform usage.
