What do you think of the new Novell support changes? I encourage you to leave your comments on this!
I like it, brings Novell's support in line with other companies such as Cisco
I do not like it
Novell is blooming crazy, this is going to push customers, IT people, and consultants away from Novell even further!
I do not care either way

    General NewsSecurity, Management and Operating Platforms business unit invoicing grew 26% year-over-year

    Solid operating margin performance


    WALTHAM, Mass. -- Feb. 25, 2010-- Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010. For the quarter, Novell reported net revenue of $202 million. This compares to net revenue of $215 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2009. GAAP income from operations for the first fiscal quarter of 2010 was $21 million. This compares to GAAP income from operations of $14 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2009. GAAP net income in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 was $20 million, or $0.06 per share. This compares to GAAP net income of $11 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2009. First fiscal quarter of 2010 results included a $5 million change in accounting estimate related to fiscal 2009 sales compensation that increased profitability in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. This benefit was more than offset by a $6 million negative impact to income from operations from foreign currency exchange rates
    compared to the same period last year. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $1 million.
