There was a six per cent increase in the company's product revenue for the quarter, and a three per cent rise in total revenue for fiscal year 2008.

"The company's Linux business, built on the success of Suse Linux, grew to US$195m for the quarter. According to Sean McCarry, Novell director for the UK and Ireland, much of the growth is due to the company's reseller relationship with Microsoft."
