Robbie, You have used NOVL and MSFT product and enough said. Either you are meaning that NOVL products are by far more superior in almost any tech. they compete in or you truly go against the grain of most knowledgeable industry technologist that have exposure to both products. Head to Head, NOVL products are more mature, faster, and reliable in almost every aspect. The only thing that has MSFT gaining some market share is MSFT FUD FUD FUD. If your a true technologist that has experienced both then you even know this. MSFT has wanted NOVL dead for a long time. What fantacy are you living that MSFT has some desire to spare NOVL from its demise? MSFT cant kill NOVL for two main reasons. NOVL still owns the most network infrastructure market share and market share is going to hold because NOVL has finally focused on what they are good at while MSFT has bitten off much more than they can chew! In fact, over the next year look at MSFT becoming good buddies with NOVL because they have already realized that their non-existent Active Directory is will be no match for the industry leading and matured NDS. Specially when NOVL has put a ton of effort at making NDS almost completely native on NT. Sorry Robbie those were not convincing statements you made. Please explain to me why you might think that MSFT wants NOVL to be alive if they somehow had the chance to kill them off? They can't even target many of NOVL's largest accounts because they have no alternative solution in the enterprise arena. I am waiting to here your rebuttal. (excuse my spelling - I'm a shitty speller and too lazy to look for the correct spelling - LOL). Toy
