Hi Don! Just couldn't stop myself from reading this thread again today! Your comment: > It's all about marketing. The guy with the best marketing wins. < Is essentially what many of us have been telling Novell for about a year now ... they first didn't accept that statement as true, then did this summer, and recently told me they would 'out-market' ALL the competition starting sometime before YE 97 ... I haven't seen the evidence yet, not even a real effort. Is there any Novell Marketing folks lurking that can show us some genuine Marketing ... activity? plans? results? ... I'd sure like to see more signs of life in Novell's 'marketing' ... from what has made it to me, I think it's time to go check their pulse ... maybe they 'passed away' on the job a while ago, probably time to send 'replacements and re-enforcements'. I'll try to find John Slitz's email to ask him for some marketing outlook info ... might take a while, but they (other Novell Execs) usually send some kind of answer. Oh Janice (Janice Shell ... are you still reading here?) ... we sure could use some more of your outstanding analysis and forecasts about now ... things have been too 'poopy' for too long. I know VK tries hard, but I just don't understand the terms he uses ... yours sounded much better to me ... I'm hoping for a 'way cool' next year, but need a few more reasons to believe, not just hope.
