I'd say that providing services via the Directory to users and applications (both?) is "the key" for Novell. Remember, an application and/or a user without services is not as effective or productive.....just my two cents worth :)

What are some services?
File sharing, printing, remote access, authentication, encryption and on and on......

To me, an application is a product while an application with a service(s) geared to a specific end is a solution and in the end, customers NEED solutions. Novell needs to get away from merely creating applications and move into providing services and applications that customers can build solutions with.

Of course no matter what the semantics are - directory services is the glue that binds it all together.
