Scott,

I believe that large corporations will begin to migrate to
NetWare 4.x later this year as they begin to realize the
benefits of NDS and enterprize networking.

MSFT confused many users with their hype on Windows NTS and
I think it will be only a matter of time before users realize
the real truth...that MSFT Windows makes for good application servers but not enterprise servers.

From brainshare, I found that the techies favoured NetWare 4.x
over Windows NTS but that management favoured Windows NTS....
perhaps because MSFT marketing really did a good job on them.

Adobe Systems analyst told me that between him and his manager,
there was quite a bit of haggling. Eventually, the techie told
his manager that its either NetWare 4.x or
nothing at all....Adobe has started the installation of NetWare 4.

NetWare 4 sales will be slow in the first half of this year but
should start improving later this year.

It remains to be seen if users upgrade NW 3.x to NW 4.x. My
own opinion is that NW 3.x is here to stay. For new servers,
users will install NW 4.x.

Windows NTS is not about to dissappear...in fact it will capture some of the market share.....NOVL has to find a module that will allow both servers to "talk" to one another and co-exist on the
same network.

Lets wait and see what the chairman has to say at the shareholders meeting. It would be nice if NOVL could charter
a plane for us "loyal" shareholders so that we can provide
direct input to Bob's future plans. He could expense this at
the cost of the directors fees...$10,000/pop.

V.K
