Yes but the marketing push is very differant from Novell now...it is not NT or Novell it is NT and Novell. Once NDS "ON" NT ships the value propersition changes ie: you can have your NT and NDS too! All it takes is for a couple of high profile NT bigots to go with NDS "ON" NT and we are off. Costa Side note: I have an NDS customer who contracted an NT only Integrator to deploy their desktops (can't help bad luck), they kicked off the project with a typical NT mindset ie: image the workstations with the apps and create some profiles to manage...somehow! My customer pointed them to NAL (Novell Application Launcher) which is now a subset of the ZEN works client and where AMAZED at what NAL could do.... Point here is an NT Bigot does not even READ ABOUT or UNDERSTAND the benifits that NDS brings to an enterprise, Novell will have to create a marketing program for the uneducated (NT Bigots). The majority of Novell's marketing (defensive) programs ONLY reach the NetWare install base, in my part of the world they have done nothing to target NT sites, not even a simple letter....now that Novell is no longer "troubled" or losing money...it is time to go on the offensive and I am betting that that is all part of the grand plan (if not I sure will tell them)..hold onto your seats!
