Hi ToySoldier - Will Netware 5.0 run on any of the 64-bit platforms, specifically the Sun's Sparc or Intel Merced? If not what is Novell's future plan and could they deliver a 64-bit Netware version by 2000? Intel developing Merced software news.com Corporate-use business software has traditionally run on Unix-based operating systems and non-Intel microprocessors such as Sun's Sparc or Digital Equipment's Alpha. As part of the program, Intel envisions persuading software developers to increasingly design their programs to run on Unix "flavors" sitting on top of the Intel chip architecture. Already, Hewlett-Packard, SCO, and Digital have said they will write versions of their Unix software for the upcoming 64-bit Merced chip, which was recently pushed back to 2000. --- EKS

Toy- As a novell employee I am glad to see that there are people paying attention to what the company is trying to achieve. The release of Netware 5 (it is a very smooth product) will be the ultimate "put up or shut up" to Microsoft. We all know that they have nothing to put up and their marketing machine will not be able to convince the marketplace to wait for something that NO ONE has even claimed is technologically BETTER than what Novell offers today. AS the tide turns, however, Schmidt has plans that extend far beyond the release of Netware 5. He wants to change the entire face of Networking to one that is the user's face. The direction Novell is headed is one in which the user's desktop is only a configuration and centrally located on a server. It will be possible to project this configuration to any given location at any given time regardless of where you are or when you want it. All your apps, files, settings, wall paper, everything. Novell will provide the software to do it. Steve
