"A company in decline cannot turn itself around by buying a company on the rise."
you're right, but a company in decline stuck in an old paradigm and living off of past successes can (and should) try to learn from currently successful companies (like SuSe) whether they buy them or not.
Outside of Microsoft, they are one of the most successful companies involved with network operating systems. They lead the pack in networked file and print servers, in a time when there was no internet.
I think that Novell will sink unless they start to get the right idea, and that a SuSe buyout might be a good thing for them, if it could happen, and it could be a good thing for us, too.
