NetWare 5.0: Fine for faithful

But it's a tough sell for new converts

<<Ironically, Novell's forthcoming NDS for NT tools, which will eventually give NT administrators the ability to run NDS without NetWare servers, will give NT sites Novell's greatest strength. This lessens the incentive for NT-only shops to implement NetWare.>>

Ironic, or ingenious? Hmmmm, seems I'm missing something here in the Novell strategy. ;)

.. Stone said that Novell is also in discussions with Microsoft about providing its directory to Microsoft's Millenium project, likely to be a direct competitor with Sun's Jini.

Uh, Excuuuuuuse me? Novell providing a directory for a Microsoft project?

Does anyone not think that this is an extremely significant statement?

Active Directory must be in worse trouble than even I thought.
