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.
Microsoft and Novell have opened a joint development lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which will focus on cross-platform interoperability.
