Novell executives visited MSFT last week interactive.wsj.com!&time=12/17+16:04 Eric Schmidt, somewhat stone faced, went to visit MSFT last week to discuss "co-operation" with MSFT. Only detail that emerges in this article is that NOVL agreed to support MSFT directory. IntranetWare 5.0 mentioned for June release and NT 5.0 for 1999. Eric was also said to have discovered the need to upgrade 3.X customers. No particular plans to do so were announced. ============================= Am I being cynical.

Hello Joe: Stealth product. Geez Joe, what do I think of this article? Just goes to show Novell doesn't need marketing or ads. What praise: "rather late in the game" "catch up" "relative advantage ...will be slowly eroded" "trying(?) to convince developers to use NDS" "doing its best to regain lost ground" You know, Eric Schmidt has repeatedly said that Novell is coming out with hot new products this year. I am now convinced that there must be some stealth product, maybe developed by the stealth marketing department for some stealth industry that really is going to be hot this spring, ahhh- no: make that this summer, hooold on - how about next year. And man its going to be hot. PC Labs says, "HO HUM YAWN"; but hey, what do we care? We're the greatest and we know it! 30 people laid off in marketing- that leaves 70. Hey guys, people read these things and you're getting trashed. Time for a martini lunch? Or are you going to get the word out? Joe, you've said it all a million times. It needs to be said another million times. Millionares in the exec suite and on the BOD: naptime's over: you have a fiduciary responsiblity to your shareholders and employees. Counteract the FUD, if there's one ball between you all. Forever a shareholder, Lawrence(I'd rather fight than switch)Petkus
