Lemon meet Hemingway, you got to shorten your blather No wonder you have such a hard time communicating toother people at Novell. I got two things out of your post. (1) 'You have been working to arrange strategic partnerships.' SO what have the results been? The NFS initiative was brilliant. Did you get IBM to buy into it? The Sun-Java initiative was good. Somebody got the message at Novell to solidify on standards that are not MSFT's. But what about initiatives to Netscape and Oracle? (2) You think the future is small business's outsourcing to ISP's and you use Kinko's as an example. No that's not the intranet market. Most small businesses are going over to NT because you haven't given them a replacement product for their Novell servers. These people use Wordperfect on a server or a shared file system database. You should have given them an intranet product that would have let them continue to do their word processing and database on the server with future JAVA hooks and Corel's JAVA version of WP. Where's the product???????????????????????? ISP's are too slow. We are certainly not going back to a visual time sharing mode of business activity using Netcom or AOL or AT&T. People like their PC's and will use the NET for other models of business activity. (Notice the airlines use it for last minute seat placement, others use it for price lists, parts availability ie to supplement the vendor/supplier relations they already have with their customers...let's see if Bob has the part and what he is charging...this is what small business's will buy into eventually) WAKE UP SCOTT. Do some more homework and start to question your assumptions. Q1 was a disaster, and that isn't me speaking its the analysts that rated the company an "avoid". It's your assumptions that are wrong not 'the world is against Novell' nonsense.
