Jim: There is no "co-optition" with Microsoft as was recently stated by Novell (and there never will be). They're kidding themselves [big time] if they think so. The continuing publishing of "honest" quarterly "numbers" will attest to that. There's only so many ways and times you can make them look good [the "numbers", that is...], and then there are no more ways to "tweak". Your post here sets the stage for what "really" will occur over the next 18-24 months, IMHO at this stage of the game. They NW shops will stay in "maintenance mode" until they are eventually phased out. Revenue will be flat "at best", if not a continual decline. The juggernaugt should've been responded to 2+ years ago, and wasn't. Should be an interesting annual meeting, eh? Regards, Joe...<ominous article, I'd say ... wouldn't you?> PS: Interesting how the article comes out immediately "after" the conclusion of Brainshare isn't it?
