That is what am thinking will happen if Microsoft would buy the Novell half. I would say start planning, but hope for the best. The thought I had is what happens with those who are running SLES? You are running Suse with eDir on top of it so you would be in both sides, how do you split that up? If someone buys Novell and doesn't keep the current structure, Novell is dead. What I would think they should do is keep Zenworks and GroupWise as they are platform independent and make them their own products, but then what to do about a network operating system. I think no matter what that anyone who is running Novell needs to be thinking about the future as Novell may not have one.

Does this mean that everyone running on a Novell network will have to migrate to something else?? That would be really costly (if moving to MS) for most and, at least, a pain for others...

I'm torn. I really do like my Novell system. Lately, I've felt that my Netware/Zenworks/Groupwise/BM setup has been a little restricting to get some things done. However, there is no way I would have been able to do what I have been doing on the equipment I have with Windows. Luckily the cost of servers ready for VMs are rather cheap. I'll miss my app launcher though. :( >>> "Daniel Zobel" <zob...@husd4.k12.il.us> 9/20/2010 9:57 AM >>> http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=1831 <http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=1831&tag=nl.e040> &tag=nl.e040 Daniel Zobel Director of Technology Heyworth CUSD#4 Direct Phone 309-473-2250 Grade School 309-473-2822 High School 309-473-2322 Unit Office 309-473-3727 | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org |
