Microsoft Acquire Novell??

This is just pure speculation.

Don't count Hatch out of the picture.

Or the Orem land rumor.

Recent security breaches could be just preparing to alert the public about some glaring security weaknesses that our out there which will only continue to thrive as more PCs get connectected to the net on an "always on" basis.

With this renegade code story out there they won't have any trouble coming up with folks to blame.

Perhaps this split will take place after all.

Perhaps Novell and Microsoft could end up in bed with each other.

.NET is a massive vision.

Novell's underlying technology is a lot further along to support .NET than what Microsoft has to date.

To hear from a recent former MS employee about this split and the wonderous potential behind what Novell could bring to the table was facinating.

Things aren't always what they appear to be at first.

With Linux breathing down MS and Novell's back this could get interesting.

Just some thoughts.

Peace.

GO!!
