Hi Costa, well, at least YOU hear me <G>. And I don't know why Eric H.
let's David get under his skin so much <Eric, he's small potatoes, you know it and I know it>. It's all rhetoric. When I see signs like I posted upthread about CPQ not preloading NT any longer (but still Novell), and MSFT going for ONE LAST BANG (yesterday's earnings), and saying, but.. but.. don't look for future Q's of this type of sustained growth, and Client Server (Oh, excuse me ... Distributed Computing -- I'm dating myself <G>) still, STILL trying to kill the dinosaur's (i.e. Mainframes -- they ain't going anywhere, at least in my lifetime). When I see all of this as a big picture, yes, it will take time, and the enterprise will be the last (and only judge) of what products will handle thier applications. AND IT AIN'T GONNA BE TOTAL MICROSOFT DAVID.
Costa, sorry about that ramble, but yeah, I said before the NDS on AIX is a pretty big thing going on now, but as an employee, I can't and won't discuss anything here on this public board. But you're right,
and they must play thier cards right now.
Joe...<I think they will.. and BTW David, I haven't lost a dime on NOVL .... yet. And believe me, I won't!> |
