In addition to Console One, Novell plans to announce this week a new version of GroupWise. Novell also will spotlight key strategic partnerships at Brainshare. The company is expected to join the 64-bit bandwagon with the launch of its Merced project. Scheduled to be announced jointly with Intel, the Merced project will deliver a new 64-bit operating system. In other partnership news, Novell and Oracle will expand the initiative they announced at last December's Internet World conference in New York. One Novell executive said the company plans to "bring Oracle's application environment in an easy way to Novell users." Sources said the company also will announce a partnership with Compaq. infoworld.com

HP joins the effort to build a tower of Babel. From today's Santa Barbara News Press: "PALO ALTO Hewlett-Packard Co., widening an industry breach, on Friday said it will produce its own version of the Java software programming language developed by Sun Microsystems Inc." "Hewlett-Packard joins Microsoft Corp. in challenging Sun for control of Java, a language to let programmers write software that works across a range of computers and consumer electronics." "Microsoft already is encouraging software developers to use its own version of Java, which runs better on Windows personal computers than on rivals' machines." Isn't it just like HP to try cornering a market by inventing a language that no one else can use? They tried (and failed) to do the same thing with the PC market.
