He predicted that RedHat would be Microsoft's next partner.

The original Article is translated as follows:

As we all know, Matthew Szulik, CEO of Red Hat, said last year that he had negotiated a patent deal with Microsoft. However, with the signing of a patent cooperation agreement between Microsoft and Novell, the dialogue between Red Hat and Microsoft has become a historical one. In addition, Red Hat publicly accused Microsoft-Novell of cooperation.

However, the current situation is changing.

In July 3 this year, Paul Cormier, executive vice president of Red Hat, said Red Hat wanted to work with Microsoft to improve Linux/Windows interoperability. Cormier said, "I hope to discuss the cooperation between the two operating systems with Microsoft so that they can work together to solve some real customer problems, provided that there are no additional conditions, such as provisions on intellectual property rights."

As Red Hat mentioned, patent cooperation agreements will not be placed on the negotiating table between them. However, Microsoft officials do not think so. They said that the interoperability and intellectual property rights issues cannot be completely separated and must be considered at the same time.

Bob Muglia, Microsoft's senior vice president of servers and tools, said, "We have always been open to discussing interoperability in promoting conversations with Red Hat ."
