Microsoft and Novell: Getting Married?
,----[ Quote ]
| Remember the Famous Gates' Quote. I'm not going to use the following
| quote from the quasi-fictional movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley, as a
| fact here. But consider this statement made during the movie, "Keep
| your friends close and your enemies closer."
|
| Think about it for a minute, can we really dilute ourselves into
| believing that Microsoft is going to treat Novell any better than
| they have treated the antivirus industry as a whole with regards to
| Vista? Get serious. Microsoft is a business and businesses are there
| to generate a profit for their shareholders. Period.
|
| When the appropriate time comes, I believe that Novell will become the
| second class citizen that Symantec and McAfee have become in
| Microsoft's eyes. Don't quote me as saying this will 100 percent
| certainly, but I'm staking a percentage of about 95 percent based on
| past dealings with Microsoft and other companies.
