I disagree C. Magnus While Novell has groped about with sundry products over the last decade the center piece has always been directory services. Mail has also been a key offering, but has captured a small share of the market. It seems to me that a strong play for the mail services market on Linux is a natural fit and a great way to draw more attention to the real star - directory services. Not a change of focus at all.
