“Over the past ten days we’ve seen the rolling announcements out
of Attachmate as SuSE gets spun into a separate organization with a
return to Germany and Mono employees (along with many other Novell
employees) find themselves on the outside looking in. I got into an
interesting Twitter discussion with Carlo Daffara and Jan Wildeboer
about the future of Mono.“I’ve written about Novell’s SuSE positioning over the years and
their need to be more than “We’re-not-Red-Hat”. Mono was always
been a potentially excellent strategic differentiator. But first
you need to understand how Microsoft dropped the ball.”
