  1. Milking the public cow on Novell CEO Shakeup Puts Ron Hovsepian in Charge · · Score: 1

    Microsoft kicked it out in server market, then again m$ kicked it out in word processors/ office suites markets (remember wordperfect takeover and finally sale by novell) and it is unable to match even redhat for linux (even after takeover of suse linux).

    Milking a public cow ain't going to get you loads of milk, many are in queue or are doing it right now. But doing some value addition will, maybe something like add some ice and water to sell milk shakes to make profits even ice creams is a good idea.

    But as far as I can see still their strategy is GNU/ Linux and related technologies, but they have a lot of competition, redhat, IBM, and a little bit of HP and many small time integrators

    And compare this with what balmer said once:

    "We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference. -- Steve Ballmer"

    here the actual thing is monopoly and not market share not even technology. Somehow use technology/ market share whatever to build monopoly and get rich.
