Hi Jon...Here are several good articles about Novell.
The exception is the article about Burger King which Novell did not comment on. In addition to the problems Novell is having at the low end, Are we starting to lose grounds at the high end too?.

13. Web-Server Market Battle Heats Up
COMPUTER RESELLER NEWS October 21, 1996
From the article:
Other vendors are not out of the Web-server race, either. Novell captured 11 percent in the September poll, while IBM Corp. and Oracle Corp. earned 4 percent apiece and Artisoft Inc. had 2 percent.
In the network-operating-system category, top-rated Novell gained five points since the August poll to pull in 50 percent of the reseller votes, while runner-up Microsoft lost four points and came in at 39 percent. The battle here has been tight, though. Both vendors have a three-month average of 44 percent.
The groupware category represents another tough battleground where Microsoft is battling for supremacy. Lotus, which bested all competition in August, dropped 12 points while Microsoft gained 10 points and Novell gained nine. Microsoft led the September results with 34 percent, Lotus had 26 percent and Novell had 24.
My comment: These surveys are looking good. Hopefully, we end up with good revenues in Q4 and beyond.
