Hello Toy, On this one, we agree completely! ;-) > So NOW the Novell Execs are coming to that realization.

If Novell would have followed this free NDS > strategy when NDSforNT was first released, then the NDS > entrenchment into the industry would have been much further along. Of course there would have been a hit on revenue, but the issue is that NDS should be free! It's the directory applications (like ZEN) that should be charged for. Novell should be focusing it's energy on the directory applications that corporations want to pay for ... The directory will have to be free and cross platform for developers to start to write the other "killer apps" and that are out there. Novell should focus on getting a free directory platform out in the Internet for non-commercial uses ... and then charge the commercial sites that decide to use it! > Ohh well - what do we know! ;-) Scott C.
