You have got to get educated. Sounds like you were educated by the Microsoft bandwagon groupies. Get your company to fly you out to Novell's Brainshare next spring and see what you don't understand.
What would I roll out today!
netmail
iFolder
singlesignon
iPrint
eDirectory
and I could go on!
You have no idea. I have dealt with MS from DOS to Server 2003. eDirectory blows that thing called Active Directory away. iPlanet doesn't even compare.
Talk about flexibility Novell was building its XML strategy long before Microsoft even knew what it was!
Novell has had it's rough times, but isn't as flakey as you think.
If I were a new executive taking over a company that needed to get all of a great variety of systems to talk together, Novell's solutions would be my answer.
Give Novell a chance you will be super suprised!
