Microsoft Hands Out Linux
A number of enterprise customers have already signed up for 16,000 of the 70,000 annual SUSE Linux enterprise subscription certificates Microsoft is offering under its recent, controversial deal with Novell.
Heading the list of customers taking advantage of those certificates are Deutsche Bank AG, Credit Suisse and AIG Technologies, all of whom have welcomed the interoperability moves between Microsoft and Novell.
Microsoft Hands Out 16,000 SUSE Linux Subscriptions
If you’re going to get then I’d recommend getting while the getting is good. Not even I have a known insider that will help me out. I do suspect that I can try to find one though.

Besides, I’m an MVP - if Microsoft is going to work with making the two more compatible then it would be in my best interests (and their best interest) for me to have a copy of the software so that I can continue to provide support for their customers via their newsgroup, my site, and other sites that I happen to frequent.
See? I can make a good case for it.
