Nope no smoking here.
Just in case y'all were wondering - I did actually email both my Novell rep and Novell Customer service..
Had you said so in your mail to this list I wouldn't have implied smoking :) It's just that those that really do decide these things don't read mailing lists like this.
Sad, huh? They should, if they want to know what is going on. To be honest, I believe Brian does read this on occasion.
And to be honest, I'm quite sure that eight copies of SLED aren't anywhere near a viable business case. Now if we would be talking about 1000 seats, I guess it would be a totally different game.
No - eight copies of SLED isn't going to write anyone a Christmas bonus. However, I have 1500 employees, all who are potential SLED customers. The County for whom I work has 105K employees, and we have a $80M IT budget.
I just don't know how many dell customers would actually order a laptop preloaded with Linux, let alone how many of the high-end dell laptops would be completely supported under SLED (all hardware, laptop specific function keys etc.).
Oh, I know. As I mentioned, my choices were Vista or Red Had. I'd just like to add SLED to the mix.
