Novell's Still Suing Microsoft, And Says it Wants Discovery Now
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell's latest 10-Q quarterly report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
| Commission provides a flashback to its 2004 lawsuit against Microsoft under
| The Clayton Act, alleging the software giant wrongfully "eliminated
| competition" from the office productivity space.
|
| [...]
|
| Notes Novell: "We intend to oppose the Petition (to go to the U.S. Supreme
| Court) and proceed with discovery before the trial court." Recent history has
| shown that Microsoft may have reasons for not being huge fans of the
| discovery process.

Executive moves: Martin Buckley quits Novell over "certain principles"
,----[ Quote ]
| Positive changes? Well, apparently not from Martin's perspective. You don't
| quit a company after eight and a half years over "certain principles" unless
| things are really bad. I never knew Martin during my time at Novell but he
| was/is well-respected. His departure doesn't inspire confidence.

Novell's .Net moment
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell has struggled to compete in the open-source world. Combining with
| Microsoft hasn't helped. So why not, as Dave suggests, link up with
| Microsoft's .Net code to build an ecosystem around it that would complement
| Microsoft's own efforts to do so?
|
| [...]
|
| Let's face it: there are still hordes of developers out there who love
| Microsoft and would probably prefer to create open-source projects
| around .Net instead of Java or the LAMP stack. Novell could orchestrate this
| since Microsoft appears to have a PR problem with doing so.
