Why buy Novell when they can effectively squash most other linux distros' market share within the Enterprise by simply spreading more FUD to the effect of "M$ supports full inter-operability ONLY with Novell" and then allow Novell to marginalize themselves and slowly make themselves irrelevant in the marketplace the same they did with their original NetWare product?
Thus the end of any real threat Linux may have posed in their "world".

The other day a Novell sales rep said this to me:
" MS
has realized that Linux is key in the Business Enterprise and is now a viable
and solid alternative to Windows."
Knowing how much MS cares about the enterprise environment I'm starting to think that MS is going to buy Novell.
Anybody else thinking this?
