| Nearly a year after shocking the open-source community by cutting a deal with
| Microsoft Corp., a primary spike to Linux sales at Novell Inc. has slowed and
| the company has yet to win market share from rival Red Hat Inc.

| There are better, more robust mail systems out there than exchange. So why is
| Novell trying so hard to tow to Microsoft with its evolution? Oh I know the
| answer to that. I will be told on no uncertain terms that exchange is the
| enterprise standard. Who says?

Why Novell fan left NetWare, SUSE behind
,----[ Quote ]
| For the most part, Red Hat -- though a proprietary products vendor
| -- stays true to the community spirit of open source software. For
| instance, Red Hat bought Netscape Directory Server and threw it
| on open source and gave it to the community, Klein said.
|
| "Once I bought into the community, I became
| community-oriented. That's Red Hat's strength, and that's
| where Novell falls short. To me, it looks like Novell just
| uses Linux as an entry to selling proprietary products to
| put on top of it. As for open source, it looks like Novell
| tosses its dead products out to the community."
|
| The partnership between Microsoft and Novell takes that approach
| -- using Linux as a hook to sell proprietary products -- a giant
| leap forward, in Klein?s opinion.
