For those optimists about how much time NOVL has, a word from IBM

As reported in CRN

crn.com

"The new receptivity to NT is a switch for a company that until recently fearfully watched the operating systems growing popularity...because it had a vested interest in its own server OS."

"They are evolving their strategy from a proprietary operating system to NT," said Jim Garden.

"IBM's switch follows NT's growing popularity. NT server revenue is expected to grow to $6.5 billion next year...We at IBM recognize we should tailor our offerings to accommodate Microsoft...the computer giant is embarking on projects to bring NT fully into the enterprise."

No comment from anyone necessary here but send Serep back 8 months or so to read some interesting posts on this subject from a guy that warned us this was happening.

I went out a bit further - May 10 P's are 5/8 - 3/4 and going up. I think it's a good bet whether you are long term bullish or not.
Nothing like a little insurance.

PS - Those Joe A. bashers who dismiss him as some sort of grumpy old man are making a mistake.

best wishes all, matt
