Drop Dead, Netware!

When I think about Novell, I picture a lumbering dinosaur, tethered to the decaying remains of a once-great operating system. The cost of supporting Netware, Novell's old flagship OS, is keeping the company from wholeheartedly joining the exploding Linux market.

New CEO Ron Hovsepian has his work cut out for him trying to turn this badly limping beast around. As Novell's president and COO, Hovsepian was a driving force in Novell's two-year effort to steer the company toward "software for the open enterprise." But that direction still leans as heavily on Netware as on Novell's other operating system, SUSE Linux.
