NOVL is a great Linux play ... and it doesn't matter whether Linux or BeOS or Windows ... emerges ... NOVL is THE network directory software. It doesn't sound like Active Directory will be a serious competitor for the next twenty years. In Bill's defense ... Windows and PCs in general weren't designed to be reliable. They were designed to be cheap. UNIX was designed from the start to be RELIABLE. But MSFT should give up on paying college kids to write bad code for an obsolete OS and write a GUI for Linux. A lot of people like the look and feel of the Window desktop (they just made a bad copy of the Macintosh look and feel). And millions of people are stupid enough to pay $80 for it. The ignorant masses keep breeding ignorant masses. But speaking of Linux. Why would anyone continue to develop software for an unstable, shoddy, proprietary OS like Windows?
