How can you expect any thing else from the master of chicanery? Didn't msft send troops to other software makers and recruit their best tech people? I read that some where. May not be true but I wouldn't put it past them. Things aren't going to change for msft until they rule the internet. They may never accomplish this feat but they will keep trying. Novl is the greatest threat to their dominateing the internet so they have declared war on Novl and all their partners. This has been brewing for along time and will continue for the forseeable future. Novl's superior products will hold their own even with all the hype that is being spread. Most of the time the best product will win out over time. That will be Novl's greatest assets, their products and their willness to work with and for their business customer's benefit and profit. Well I feel better. Thank you for all the good and informitive post. Good Luck to all.

" I bet that Dell received several calls from their Novell-centric customers as well asking
why Dell would be performing such a complex migration. Its motivations was very
questionable and did not make any sense. Even this statement from Dell is a lame
excuse. They are saying that they are migrating several older NetWare servers to NT in
order to address the Y2K issue! Thats like saying I will use a shotgun to kill a mosquito
in my house."

Actually it is like saying I will burn my house down to kill a mosquito
