Eric Schmidt = Gil Amelio

This whole story is very Apple - esque if you know what I mean. The huge cost cutting big charges the brief return to profitability the denial of the market shifting swiftly away. The hope against hope, the too late realization that this is a 500 million dollar company not 1 billion.
More significant cost cutting required. Netware sales are in freefall. This is a much smaller company then it used to be - Get smaller fast!

Go ahead Load up on Novell. Not me I'm waiting. I see an Apple instant replay here.

Oh yes and remember just like Gil Eric will be a rich man when they dump him early next year. He will be glad it is over....

This company and this stock is a meat grinder. With all the easy picken's why even risk cash here - I can think of a dozen lower risk equal return companies - Like Santa Cruz Operation SCOC for example it was 3.50 very recently.
