I believe you've got it right, Jerry! ... MSFT can't even get started on most of this kind of Network Managability features until sometime after they get NT (Server) 5.0 working properly and 'frozen' ... from everything I've heard, that probably won't happen until sometime in late 1999.

And Novell has it working now, do you think they can actually turn it into substantial revenue? ... I've believed that they could make lots of money from these products, starting about 6 months ago (the revenue that is) ... then watched as they apparently 'deffered' those sales until past YE97 (think it has something to do with the new management getting a 'fresh start' and a 'beatable' target for year over year results) ... then expected the 'big sales push' to start with COMDEX ... and now, just feel depressed.

Lots of people and businesses are willing to buy lots & lots of this software right now ... but, Novell doesn't seem to want to take their money ... that's what's depressing me.

Do you think you will hear your (and Novell's) cash register ringing soon?
