The new strategy is the old strategy

note the comment at MF: "Novell does not project itself as a company with the DNA to support communities of developers. Novell is great for Network Support Engineers, who are very different from developers." It is a systems house not an applications developers house.

The company can never succeed and for one simple reason --- it cannot commercialize good ideas, it buys creativity and then kills whatever is living in what it bought.

I'm sure they will do another acquisition, the point of which will be to buy time for management while they get their options vested.

I'm glad I do not own the stock. I actually think I enjoy watching the big institutions that think Ho is the charm flush their money down the Wall Street sewer. They deserve it for not listening to good advice.
