Thoughts on Wrapping Up Microsoft's FY10
,----[ Quote ]
| Stealth Layoffs: comments here for a while
| have been saying don't expect anymore large
| layoffs but do expect ongoing stealth
| layoffs, the kind that don't trigger the
| WARN act, let alone publicity. If you see
| your leadership meeting with HR far more
| frequently than usual, should you be
| nervous? Well, first step, ask what's up.
| If the answer is unsatisfying and doesn't
| ring true: yep, be nervous, especially as
| FY10 wraps up and new FY11 reduced budgets
| kick in.

Novell Reports Financial Results for Second Fiscal Quarter 2010

Whatâs new at Novell?
,----[ Quote ]
| But then Novell hasnât traded on
| fundamentals for the past three months,
| ever since hedge fund Elliott Associates
| launched an unsolicited offer for the
| company. Novell, which is being advised by
| JP Morgan Securities, stiffed the bid, but
| did leave the door open to other
| âalternatives to enhance shareholder
| value.â Since Elliott floated the offer,
| shares of Novell have basically changed
| hands at or above the $5.75-per-share bid.
|
| As a decidedly mixed bag of businesses,
| Novell isnât the cleanest match for any
| other company that might want to take it
| home. For that reason, most speculation
| around a possible buyer for Novell has
| centered on private equity firms. (The
| buyout shops are undoubtedly licking their
| chops at the prospect of picking up
| Novellâs $600m of maintenance and
| subscription revenue, not to mention the
| $1bn that sits in the companyâs treasury.)
| However, we understand from a person
| familiar with the process that there are a
| handful of strategic buyers still
| interested in Novell.
