Have to Disagree Dana
We don't need to see MS sue a Fortune 500 company for this to have an effect.

CEO's and CFO's will cave to the indemnification arguement everytime. This is the easiest way for MS to "thin the herd". For MS, Linux has been hard to counter because there were far too many targets. This "agreement" will have the net effect of narrowing down their enterprise Linux competition to Novell and a Oracle-weakened Red Hat and then the real attack begins. Other enterprise Linux hopefuls are now done and Shuttleworth's enterprise endeavor has just been severely disadvantaged.
