How do you think the Attachmate deal will turn out for "Novell" Well, the marketing can't be any WORSE Better, the product/support commitment is there Worse, MS will end up with what is left of Novell’s marketshare & still end up with the patents, leaving the customer as the loser Results 86 votes \| 0 comments
