●● 10 Novell Predictions for 2009

Posted in GNOME, Microsoft, Mono, Novell, OpenOffice, Red Hat, SUN at 1:31 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

LET us wait and see how these fare one year from now:

Mono will become more tightly integrated and prevalent inside GNOME although it will remain possible to exclude (not for the faint-hearted)Due to problems of its own, Microsoft will decrease financial support of Novell and maybe even betray it in a small wayNovell will announce more layoffsTension between Red Hat and Novell will lead to more frequent wars of wordsMicrosoft will cite Novell as a reason for patent ‘liabilities’, using examples like Moonlight and Mono that ‘steal’ Microsoft’s ‘innovations’Sun or the OpenOffice.org community will go more vocal and vilify Novell for its fork of OpenOffice.orgAt least one top executive — of a level comparable to that of a VP or SVP — will resignNovell’s shares will decline to about $2.5 (and the rest of the market follow this trend), which means that its market cap will fall below 1 billion dollarsPublic protests against Novell will become more commonNovell and Microsoft will announce more collaborations, such as joint work on XPS, HD, and maybe even DRM
