From Geek.com:
Dell’s participation in this agreement will include the purchase of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server certificates from Microsoft. Dell will also agree to create a services and marketing program to encourage current Linux customers who are not Dell Linux Customers to migrate to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

The real question is, who will own the hypervisor?
