Novell plans European layoffs

RE: Well, yes.: Well no.

"On the Linux issue, it is failing for Novell. It is not doing its job of preserving what's left of Netware from Microsoft."

But I thought you said this was a Unix killer not a competitor to Microsoft! And Novel is killing itself. They were dying well before they took on SuSE. They may still make it turn around. To soon to tell just yet.

"As you say, the goal is to increase the stock price by decreasing the company's ability to be competitive in the future.

This makes Wall Street happy, as well as those executives whose bonuses are based on profits or stock price, and who don't expect to be around for the collapse unless the retention bonus dwarfs the signing bonus elsewhere."

Yes and this in turn leaves our economy in shambles and thousands of Americans unemployed and without medical or dental insurance. Wow now that is a good thing for a nation, isn't it!?; Posted by: Linux User 147560 Posted on: 08/02/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
