There's no doubt about it. VMware wants to buy Novell's SUSE Linux and open-source divisions. But, according to a Reuters report, Novell's board really wants to sell NetWare and the identity management divisions at the same time , and no one wants to pay serious money for them.

I still see VMware as the front-runner. IBM likes to use and service Linux, the company has never had any interest in the Linux distribution business. I can't imagine Microsoft, with Steve Ballmer at its head, buying a Linux company. Ask me again after Microsoft's get some fresh blood at the top and it may be a different story.
