Microsoft will support customers who choose to run Linux with Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 R2, which allows multiple operating systems to be run on one machine.
Novell says its Linux business has grown by 243 percent over the last three quarters, and it largely credits its deal with Microsoft.
Novell has released the first service pack (SP1) for its Suse Linux Enterprise 10 server software, which promises better virtualisation and high performance support along with improved security.
Novell has launched a thin-client version of Suse Linux that comes with a tool third parties can use to build tailored sytems.
XenSource has endowed its flagship virtualisation product with better Windows support, the company announced on Monday, but a new version due in June will bring greater changes.
It has competed hard with the likes of Microsoft and IBM, but over the years Novell has remained a smaller player than either of its two main rivals. CTO Jeff Jaffe tells what Novell has up its sleeve to bring the company up to speed: Fossa, an open source project named after the Madagascan relative of the Mongoose.

Trying to take a more active role in open-source programming, Red Hat has created a team of 34 programmers to work on nothing but next-generation software.
Microsoft's Hyper-V is the missing piece from the launch of Windows Server 2008. We examine its background, and predict how the hypervisor market is likely to develop.
Microsoft is taking a stand on an emerging technology that threatens to reshape software pricing models.
Production-quality XenSource virtualisation is the main selling point here, with optional clustering and storage virtualisation to go with it. But there's a lot more besides, making the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux a compelling solution for businesses of all sizes.
Early releases of the Xen hypervisor showed promise but had lots of rough edges. Citrix's XenServer 5, however, is very much a production-class virtualisation solution with features that match, and in some cases exceed, what's available on rival platforms.
VMware Workstation is an excellent product, having the potential to save IT managers many hours of work. And at only AU$257.23 per seat, it is also good value for money.
XenServer still has a fair way to go in order to catch up to the current functionality already offered in VMWare and Microsoft's virtualisation solutions -- but it's quickly improving and is a lot more affordable.
Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.
