“Novell’s history has been full of ups and downs. Once,
with NetWare, it was the networking operating system powerhouse.
Then they tried to be a consulting company. More recently, Novell
has been both a Linux company and a friend to Microsoft.“VMware has long been the go-to business virtualization company.
But now everyone is in the virtualization business. I think VMware
should look into providing more of a complete software stack by
buying its new best buddy, Novell.“Novell has certainly been looking for a buyer. While the
company still has almost a billion in the bank, it’s not been doing
that well in the market.”
