I don't recall if this info was posted or not but if you have some time...check it out. software.ibm.com IBM/Novell Relationship Indicates New Market Dynamics IBM and Novell have announced that IBM's WebSphere Application Server will ship with Novell NetWare 5. With WebSphere, NetWare gains a powerful, open, scaleable Enterprise Java application runtime environment, and IBM shows that it is deadly serious about expanding its software marketshare. This relationship is likely to have a profound impact on the industry, as these two giants learn how to work more closely together and leverage each others strengths. ....Aberdeen Conclusions Aberdeen is convinced that this relationship marks the completion of Novell's turnaround. Novell now has an application runtime that directly meets the needs of enterprise IS organizations, and WebSphere will be a major new software platform for ISVs. And IBM, through Novell, will have a WebSphere market position that has no rivals. Consequently, when deciding which Java platform they should deploy on first, ISV's will have an extremely easy decision to make. The challenge now is for Novell and IBM to continue to execute this relationship - and to extend it. Peter J Strifas
