Don I wish this were all true but MOAB, per se, isn't going to solve Novell's problems, marketing or otherwise. While it will help the company at the enterprise end of the server market to hold existing customers and put them in the running as an Internet server contender, it does not address the market where NT is making inroads---the low end of the server market. This is where NT is taking over. If Novell can package a MOAB server into a low end product then maybe there is a chance, but if they do another Inet for Small Business then NT will beat them the way VHS beat Beta. The hole in the bottom of Novell's product line must be filled with a hot product or this company is going buy-out. Frankly I think its going buy-out anyway.
