Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the significance-thereof dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Computer World has an article about Novell Linux Desktop 10, which was just announced at Brainshare, that it plans to compete directly with Windows. One of the biggest things about NLD 10 is that it will have the desktop search engine Beagle as a feature." Also from Brainshare, Joe Barr writes on NewsForge about the significance of Novell's ongoing (multi-year) transition to Linux for all of its 6,000 desktops. Consultants and software sellers of all stripes won't soon run out of TCO arguments for the products they want to push, but Novell claims to have saved $900,000 last year in Microsoft license fees alone.

    Why stop at 10 why not release at 100 or 1000. While your at it tack on a "turbo" or "advanced" moniker.

    I am not against moving away from MS.

    But how much time($$) was spent moving to Linux?
    Was any training needed to move to Linux?

    There is alot more than just license fees.
