- Well its a interesting analysis

We are Novell partners and are very impressed with the new products Xen and AppArmor. I agree with the analysis they do not have a problem with products and innovations but with marketing. They/We are getting killed in marketing.
As a small business what we have encountered are people and businesses spouting the M$-BS about how Linux is "only for techies" "too hard and not user friendly" "you have to do things from the command prompt and not a gui" and "there are no applications that run on it, only windows" and our very favorite, "its really cheaper to just use windows".
We must see 10 M$ commercials a week, I cannot remember the last time I have seen a linux advertisement of any kind from any distro. We have great hopes that in the future Novell will more readily realize the power of consistant agressive marketing, especially in a mature market like the US.
