Stone bought Ximian. This was the beginning of his plan to add a face to Novell as well as bring in young open source talent to rub off on people. What people don't know is that there was a grand plan to use Ximian as the Linux desktop, Suse as the Os and build/buy the entire stack (from within Novell and outside). Stone had made the decision to use GNOME and messman reversed it for fear he would alienate the germans. The plan was there, messman and the board stopped it.
