The Linux kernel, whether in Redhat or Suse/Novell or whatever
packaging, already supports Xen, so persuading Microsoft to do the same
just makes it easier to have software tools of all kinds on a single
server or desktop.   The free version of vmware works ok, but Xen and
hardware virtualization promise significant efficiency gains..

Novell is the main champion of the Mono project
(http://www.mono-project.com a freely redistributable version of .NET)
so having both systems running at once on the same computer makes it
easier to do development and testing work.   And if this agreement
results in Microsoft releasing certain libraries as open source or even
GPL, that would be fantastic.

Now that Sun is opening up Java (was it Christmas?), perhaps there can
be a proper fight between .NET and J2EE?

I'd say yes, if Oracle proceeds as they've advertised.
