Novell still has an uphill battle and a long long long way to go. <<<Novell Earns R-E-S-P-E-C-T on Wall Street By Joseph C. Panettieri, Sm@rt Reseller November 3, 1998 3:59 PM ET Novell's stock crept higher as NetWare 5.0, a major upgrade to its flagship product, neared delivery in September. In a stunning move that mirrored Microsoft's marketing savvy, Novell managed to convince about a dozen Fortune 500 companies to deploy the new operating system prior to its general release. Despite a little-known directory bug, the new NetWare has proven popular in Novell shops seeking native IP support. Still, Novell isn't a no-risk bet for investors and resellers. The company's GroupWise offering badly trails Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino in the groupware market, and customers continue to deploy NT Server (1.3 million units in 1997) far more often than NetWare (900,000), according to International Data Corp. >>> These are cuts from the article but the reason for posting is there are problems with Netware 5.0 and NT 4 is still out selling Netware 5.0 by 50%. No one can predict the future, but my guess is NT 4.0(WIN2000) will continue to outsell Netware 5.0. in the future. JK
