Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad 315

Posted by timothy on Friday January 29, 2010 @09:50PM from the odd-confluence dept.

GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."

Now if only we could get a true match for Windows Active Directory. So that the software on Windows Desktop machines, works EXACTLY as if the environment was powered by Windows servers, Exchange for e-mail, etc.

Have a look here: http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/domain_services.html I have installed this product in a dev environment and for all intent and purposes it is Active Directory running on SLES 10. Connected XP clients to the domain and everything I can see is identical including administration using MMC. Pretty cool software.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r. You wait until Xen works with the hardware it needs to make virtualising Windows possible, or in the meantime, you grab a copy of VMware and install Windows or Linux on it? You could even partner with VMware. Fancy that. *Puts phone down*

I think you have missed the point completely in regard to the whole Novell/Microsoft deal. I think Novell are being very clever in their strategy and this deal was the last stumbling block in their virtulization plans.

Let me explain:

Novell has announced their new product - Novell System Management (http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/systemsma nagement/) which includes components such as Zenworks Orchestrator, Zenworks Virtual Machine Management and others. They are giving their customers the opportunity to align their architecture and provide a complete managed virtulization environment that will support multiple operating systems with no litigation worries. All on SLES10. This can only make their customers happy and make the shareholders money.

Why does everyone assuming Microsoft is getting all the benefit from this deal?
