I remember that one. Many people were pissed off because that partnership included a patents agreement. This was because in the eyes of many, this meant an acknowledgement from Novell that Microsoft was in the right to claim patents infringement of Linux and SuSE Linux was then advertised as the safe distribution. Talk about a sure way to piss off your community.
