Excellent summary by Aranowitz of Preferred Capital biz.yahoo.com I especially liked his execution comments and the fact that they have raised the high to 60. What it shows is Novell's potential. My assessment is that they are getting their act together folks. I can feel it in the product mix, in the focus, in the reorg, and in the customer demand for directories that is building. They still need the visiblity element --- the hot directory internet app or must-have breakdown your door build out solution. Maybe some small company out there will create that spark by applying Novell technology to an end user concern.

Hahahahaha.......almost 43,000 cash looks very good in my account this a.m. notwithstanding all the SOB's that are now suggesting NOVL is an "outperform" stock! I'm just a poor old man waiting for Novl to outperform its self down to 30 dollars and then buy MORE.....hahaha ...........O.T. I reviewed the index of stocks mentioned in all articles over the past 3 days in "Investors Business Daily" and was shocked to see that not ONCE was Novl. mentioned, even indirectly. THAT is just incredible! Is something wrong with this picture? We are not talking product excellence or new/inovative releases of software that I keep reading about on the SI thread. PR does not seem to be something that NOVL. knows how to turn into favorable tool ? GO NOVELL!!!!!!!either way...........I'm with ya!

Novell Delivers Strong Encryption Worldwide for NetWare and NDS Novell Delivers Strong Encryption Worldwide for NetWare and NDS Customers Outside of North America Can Now Take Advantage of Strongest Networking Security Measures Available PROVO, Utah, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell, Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVL) today announced immediate multi-product support for strong worldwide encryption in compliance with the new U.S. Department of Commerce export regulations. Specific approval was recently granted from the Bureau of Export Administration to ship strong encryption versions of NetWare(R) 5, NetWare 5.1, NDS(R) 8, NDS Corporate Edition and NDS eDirectory(TM) as specified in the January 14, 2000 publication of the Export Administration Regulations. These products are now available to both government and non-government end users on a worldwide basis with the highest levels of network security. Novell(R) customers outside of the U.S. and Canada can now take advantage of strong encryption in any of the products mentioned above by installing a new Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) module, which provides encryption strengths of 128 bits and higher. The NICI module is available for order for free at www.novell.com/products/cryptography. "Novell has always been a leader in providing software for securing all types of networks," said Dave Shirk, senior vice president, product management, Novell. "Being first to market with the highest levels of security for our products demonstrates Novell's continued commitment to spurring the growth of e-business worldwide." Strong encryption is a term given to ciphers (encryption/decryption algorithms), generally those with 64-bit keys or stronger. Ciphers using 128 bits or more are considered virtually "unbreakable" without decryption keys. Previously, software companies needed a special license from the government to export software solutions with greater than 56-bit encryption. As organizations outside the U.S. and Canada adapt their business networks to the Internet, they will now be able to implement stronger security found in products such as NetWare 5.1 and NDS eDirectory to protect their networks, systems and data.
