Vista is coming of age, with realtime and hypervisor management of 8 server cores. No more symmetrical processing. Novl had the netware, which can run webpages easily from direct application cursors(on webpage). But so far, did not take advantage of Netware capabilities. Linux is about one year behind Vista development. So, while Microsoft gets more into enterprise market(quarterly report); Novl is left behind.

Dieter, Is NOVL still around? I thought maybe they had gone out of business ... :-) Actually ... I was down at their Utah "campus" the other day for a tech meeting in their cafeteria. I saw one of the big indicators of a dying company ... They had signs posted at all of the cash registers that the styrofoam "to go" containers were now going to be charged for ... $0.20 each ... since Novell was spending far too much money each year to provide employees with foam "to go" containers. When a company begins to worry about expenses at this level ... at the cost of employees and moral ... you know they are on the verge of death. Scott C. Lemon the.inevitable.org
