Latest IDC survey shows NOVL nowhere close to being the intranet provider.

From Network World (Dec. 22nd, 1997):

IDC asked 100 Webmasters to name their primary software provider for three uses: Internet, extranet and intranet.

Internet Extranet Intranet

NSCP 27% 32% 30%
MSFT 26% 32% 36%
IBM 2% 4% 2%
Oracle 1% 4% 2%
O'Reilly & Ass. 2% - 2%

Now where do you all suppose NOVL is ?

Either NOVL has changed its name to O'Reilly & Associates behind our back(very sneaky BOD) or the world has totally forgotten why NetWare was renamed IntrantWare. I thought the Dr. told us NOVL had accomplished its tasks of becoming the Intranet company. Our Dr. must be on sedation or could it be that the BOD is controlling his mind.

NOVL is of the radar screens. Its stock ain't gona fly with the way they are going. Big trouble, big, big trouble lies ahead for this company.
