Take it easy Paul, There is something I agree with and something I don't. I am not an Intel oldtimer so I can't speak for them. Intel could have (in my opinion should have) taken a stab at OS way back when MSDOS rules the world. Maybe they had their hands full with transitioning from flash to microprocessor. But after windows3.x, the opportunity is gone. As to NOVL, I think it is a good server OS but without any control of desktop. Furthermore, I think NOVL missed some opportunity by clinging on to their OS and develop other product only around NetWare. Novell had some products called 'border services' that is very similar to what Inktomi is doing right now. But they promote it only with NetWare so there is opportunity lost. I see NetWare 5 goes into existing installation base rather than taking market shares away from MSFT. Tim Just my 0.02$ not Intel's
