Novell's Chris Stone at the MySQL Users Conference

An anonymous reader writes "According to the MySQL User's Conference page, Chris Stone of Novell, the guy behind Open Source at Novell who was responsible for the purchase of SUSE and Ximian, will be speaking at the MySQL conference. Perhaps we finally get to see what Novell is planning to do with Linux?" (That conference is taking place in mid-April, in Orlando.)

    Nothing good is going to come of Novell buying
    Suse. Novell is a company that is about to
    go under and buying Suse is a last ditch
    effort that is too little to late. Rather than
    Suse saving Novell, Novell will be the death
    of Suse and unfortunately, a black eye for Linux.

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: Netware is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Novell community when IDC confirmed that Netware market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Netware has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Novell is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Novell's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Novell faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Novell because Netware is dying. Things are looking very bad for Novell. As many of us are already aware, Netware continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Corel Netware is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Corel developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Netware is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Netware Admin leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Netware Admin. How many users of ConsoleOne are there? Let's see. The number of Netware Admin versus ConsoleOne posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ConsoleOne users. Corel Netware posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of ConsoleOne posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Corel Netware. A recent article put Novell Netware at about 80 percent of the Netware market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Netware users. This is consistent with the number of Netware Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of Word Perfect, abysmal sales and so on, Corel is going out of business and will probably be taken over by Novell who sell another troubled OS. Now Novell is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that Netware has steadily declined in market share. Novell is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Netware is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. Netware continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Netware is dead.

    Fact: Netware is dying
