Novell has lots of good stuff in the works...see the Novell thread... it's still a cheap stock. Somebody mentioned the MSFT "theft" from my favorite small-cap, STAC...that worked out just fine for STAC...all that nice money from MSFT when they settled the suit allowed STAC to make some nice all-cash acquisitions. Also, MSFT bought a ton of preferred stock in STAC, then when it came time to cash it in, MSFT opted to turn it into STAC common, so that was nice of MSFT. Interesting articles in this issue of Business Week on Bill Gates' foray into China and why he is very happy to allow the Chinese to pirate his software, all the while complaining in public...good read if anyone is interested in MSFT strategies. The takeover rumors for Novell are nothing but rumors but you can be sure that plenty of the big guys are eyeing Novell: that company is an undervalued gem with excellent R&D labs, lots of good alliances, no debt, $1.3B in cash, wholly-owned very valuable properties in the Silicon Valley and around the world...if they do want to go bust, they're going to have to work at it!
