●● With Windows Revenue in Huge Decline, Novell No Longer Needs Microsoft

Posted in Microsoft, Novell, Vista 7, Windows at 5:45 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Windows revenue is down almost by half, so why is Novell still relying on Microsoft?

Earlier today we wrote about Microsoft's bad results, which Microsoft and the press are spinning as usual and quite frankly as expected. The Register wrote today: “Windows and Windows Live [revenue] fell from $4.28bn last year to $2.62bn.”

This is the competition of GNU/Linux, the platform which is killing Microsoft's margins, especially in sub-notebooks. Is this really the company Novell wants to rely upon and make favours to?

As another site put it 6 months ago, “Microsoft’s Quarterly Results Disappoint” and “as expected, the company experienced its first year-over-year quarterly revenue decline in its history.” That was 6 months ago, so Microsoft’s sharp drop in revenue this quarter is no longer major news. █
