I'd be surprised if Novell do manage the transition to Linux desktops. They sure as hell won't be using their own products on the servers: Many Novell web products only work with IE on the client. Last time I checked, M$ don't produce IE for Linux
If you want to copy the best (IMHO) ACL filesystem, copy Novell NetWare. It rocks.
About a year or so ago, Novell put up on their website a script to create a large directory tree. You use this script to create these directories on both NetWare & Windoze servers. Then you start playing with the ACLs on the two trees.
In NetWare, the ACL changes happened almost instantly.
They stopped timing Windoze after 24 hours....
NetWare might not be free, but it's filesystem is the one to beat.

Time to be pedantic: eDirectory is the product MS 'borrowed' from for AD
Hmm, if we are being pedantic, I would say that NDS/eDir is the product MS tried to copy. Some would say thay failed. I couldn't possibley comment ;-)
The original thread author mentioned about using NTFS under Linux because of the poor ACL support available in Linux.
