Good point! :o) I guess that is what he may have meant? Oc course, he may well be more knowledgeable about Novell during that time period than I am. From 1994-2000 Novell was the primary network I worked on for the U.S. government (MSFT was slowly being brought in as servers but mostly only as workstations until mid 2000). The govt had a lot of Sun Solaris servers though too. Netware 4 and 5 were great network operating systems. However, it was VERY soon that MSFT blew them out of the water...


>Well then, there you go. You agree with Craig. Noorda's leaving caused the downfall of Novell. ;)

>>Just the opposite. He brought us netware - back then the best networking product and the most secure. There was a time when only Novell was C2. He was responsible for Novell's success until 1994 when he left and the company started to go downward and then it sunk, sunk, sunk...
