so maybe selling groupwise is a way to kill of netware by stealth. If a novell site moves from groupwise, that puts netware under enormous pressure and would probably go to. The only reason alot of netware customers keep netware is that their file/print and email systems run on netware. No groupwise, no netware. Then, Novell ends up focussed on their identity stuff (including identity based resource management like zen), and their open source stuff. Sure, folks will lose their jobs, and that'll be sad, but it may give Novell a chance to move into the new world.
