That's because Novell marketing sucks.
(That comes from a friend who attended brainshare and berated the marketing group directly.) Novell's marketing has ALWAYS been bad, and until they get some people like some of us here, who know how to "fight in the trenches," they'll still end up not being where they could be and should be!

IBM had that problem in the days of OS/2,
Yes - I spoke to the guys in Boca about it more than once. Never got anywhere though.
So did I, and I was a beta site for one of the contractors. ;)
Although I'm entering this conversation mid-stream, I agree with the Novell comment. Their marketing sucks. Sad, because their directory services are killer. NDS is and has always been superior to Microsoft's Active Directory. I can recall working with replication in my CNE courses a few years back, thinking "man, Novell can do directory services on Windows better than Microsoft can!"
Though I know we're going way OT - I was told that the most interesting thing coming out of brainshare (apart from Win2008 running in Xen) was that there are still many large companies running NetWare 3.12 servers, many with 1000+ days of uptime.
To be honest, I'm not surprised!! Further, I'll never belive that Win2008 would/will run that long without a "bust!!" MickySoft's code has always been put together with bailing wire and bubble gum. It still is and because of the way the write code, it always will be! Fred -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
