ToySoldier, Exactly my feelings about Java as well. Question tho. Why do they need a network OS if they are adding central site services, e.g. Java based Lotus apps? They are moving to a common chip set on all their platforms and they have plenty of competent operating systems with VMs there. What would Novell really add to that picture that makes them stronger than they are today? They already have network enabled file servers. If they copy Oracle's iFS concept they will kill MSFT whether they have NOVL or not. All you'd need at the desktop is an internet enabled device at the desktop. You don't need a LAN file service. ttf
