>Dell likely had to appease the MSFT God What a bunch of speculative crap. Do you really think that the IT boys and girls at Dell and the marketing boys and girls made this decision in collusion? Do think that the Microsoft sales rep for Dell and the Microsoft channel rep for Dell colluded on this? (This is a tiny deal for the sales rep!) Do you think the channel rep even cares what Dell buys for its own use? My guess (which is at least as good as yours) is that Dell's IT management sees the rapid erosion of Novell's installed base as a trend that cannot be ignored. In order to survive Novell's problems as a rapidly diminishing #2, moving to NT made good sense. I am not saying that Novell deserves the desertion it is getting. We have seen this happen many times in this industry for other than technological reasons, but it IS happening. Toy, your agenda is so naive its painful to watch.
