Hi Cheryl - Is it true that Novell Netware is easier to connect to an Intel/Windows system than a Sparc/Solaris box? Do you not think that for SUNW to really expand their enterprise market, they must look at developing a relationship with Novell where NetWare 5 can run seamless on all SUNW boxes (Ultra's to the high end servers).

It seems to me then SUNW would have a very simple solution through NetWare to tie all those Windows NT servers to the network. As far as I know Netware API's do not run native on the SUNW processors.

Why Netware? There is a huge installed base available for SUNW to capture. Microsoft NT has been eating into Novell's installed base while SUNW has no real "simple" upgrade path for these users to select SUNW's hardware or software.
