The last mile

If Novell were to begin to do something here then they would have to consider what to do with 5 user type licenses and how to package and sell to those users.

I recently emailed Schmidt with the results of my own testing of Novell's ability to handle these types of sales. Its not promising. There is apparently a committee within Novell meeting to lay out an Ecommerce strategy. But I'm sure this is a heavily politicized area within Novell. Schmidt hasn't done much to deal with the small server area in the way of providing leadership let alone the home user/ecommerce area but he is quick when he wants to be. In my Novell crystal ball I see much confusion at the low end and a shark that looks a lot like Bill Gates.

The servers that the CSCO-ATT deal implies are undoubtedly Sun's.
