DJ. Sounds great to me. Now, what does Stone plan to do about NT 5.0..
the next releases of Backoffice, Sql Server, et cetera, et cetera? AND
the "legions" of companies that Microsoft have "frozen in time" while
those same "folk that bet their careers on MS"; while they wait for
a "total" out-of-the-box solution to their server needs, which would
include not only app support, but networking support, directory
support, collaboration support, and tools support. What and how will
Novell do to "woo" all of these "folk" (you kow, the one's you read
about on Novell's web pages, and in the media, and how Novell always
says -- well harummpph - "our" product(s) are better and ...) .. woo
them back to use Novell over Microsoft? How? How long? 6 mos? 1 yr?
5 yrs? How? ... They've lost it! Read Mark Gibb in NW Fusion this week
As far as I can see from the industry writers and street analyts, the
"jury's STILL out" on Novell. They aren't even on the radar screen any
longer. THAT's why you see the stock performance the way it is. They
don't even FOLLOW Novell at the major brokerage houses any longer. The
only time they get attention is on a "buyout rumor". And that's for
"da' money!". They don't care about Novell as a company/products....
This will be just another (final?) round of gasping, no different than
what they've been doing for the last year-and-a-half. Feh! Regards..J |
