Microsoft will spend more than $400 million on the broad technology collaboration with Linux software vendor Novell that the two companies announced last week.
The agreement effectively makes Microsoft a reseller of Suse Linux, Novell's version of the operating system, and unites the two opposing sides in the software industry. When executives initially announced the pact, they did not disclose its financial terms. In a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission Tuesday, Novell detailed payments between the two longtime rivals in the agreement.
