I know very little about Hovsepian's background, but he is definitely more
capable then Jack Messman, specially under this new strategy. As he said
many times before, Novell's existing partners are the key. He repeated the
word "partners" like 20 times in one of his statements -- something that
Yugo in the SUSE newsgroup laughed at, IIRC. At least it was a long
statement. He didn't repeat it 14 times like sweaty Steve Ballmer.
Best wishes,
Roy
