Very interesting. I hope that RedHat is right. Of course they are in a much better position than Novell was. <conspiracy theory> I think Microsoft must own a controlling interest in Novell. There's no other way to explain what has happened with regards to Novell and everything they've ever touched. Observe: - Novell buys Wordperfect and subsequently runs it into the ground, loses most of its market share, then sells it off. The reason? Before Novell bought Wordperfect, it was a viable contender against Office and even had a majority market share at one time. After it almost as insignificant as OpenOffice. - Novell buys Unix System Laboratories, consequently dilutes the brand to nothing, sells it off piece-meal, lays the foundation for the SCO situation. Rather than moving their Novell file serving platform to unixware, which is what they should have done (their server OS was obsolete years ago), they wallowed in indecision, watching their once dominant market share dwindle to Microsoft - Novell partners with Microsoft to license key patents to technologies such as wine, mono, and samba, ensuring that some of the most progressive and exciting linux technologies are firmly under Microsoft's control and tax. Interesting stuff.
