<It is ALL of our jobs to help change that perception to a more positive one. This means that engineers need to create new paradigm shifts in technology, marketing/PR needs to communicate our goals and directions, sales need to beat down the doors of customers and communicate on a more personal level and management needs to somehow pull it all together. To say that any ONE of these is at fault for the
current stock price is unfair. I say we all may have contributed to some degree or another.>

I am assuming you are in engineering and not in executive mgmt. Your statement is in error. It is MGMT's fiduciary responsiblity to shareholders to ensure optimum share price performance. Regardless of who qas to blame initially, the buck stops at mgmt. That is why they get paid more, they have more responsibility and often take more risk. IF employees are underperforming (may it be marketing/PR, engineering, sales, etc.) it is MGMT's responsibility to its shareholders to right the wrong immediately. I am not a Novell shareholder wiht an axe (or capital loss) to grind, just an educated and unbiased bystander. That being said, the comments that I have heard coming from some of the employees are anti-competitive at best, and anti-capitalistic if taken literally. The folks over at MSFT appear to live and die by the imperialistic mantra of darwin's theories, and that is why their equity is so highly praised by Wall Street.
