“[The partnership with Microsoft is] going very well insofar as we originally agreed to co-operate on three distinct projects and now we’re working on nine projects and there’s a good list of 19 other projects that we plan to co-operate on.”
–Ron Hovsepian, Novell CEO
Summary: “Everything Microsoft” inside Novell SecureLogin 7.0 SP1; Novell’s own installbase on Windows continues to decline
BASED on new posts such as this one, it is easy to see why Novell develops and promotes Mono and Moonlight while occasionally boosting Vista 7. Here are the latest SecureLogin “enhancements”:
=> ↺ this one | ↺ Mono | ↺ Moonlight | ↺ Vista 7
The new enhancements include: * Next-generation integration wizard for faster application enablement and a shorter, error-free deployment * Support for .NET applications, Winforms & WPF * Support for Microsoft Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) * Support for Citrix XenApp 5
Judging by the above, Novell is not much of a GNU/Linux company. It’s not.
Novell’s loss of big clients has been covered by the following sources over the past week:

Information Technology Services is putting the final touches on plans to migrate student and faculty users off the Novell network operating system onto a new system, making campus computer use more efficient.
As long as Novell loses business, a sale of Novell becomes more inevitable. The worth of Novell keeps declining though. The workforce is also being moved to India and to the far east. Sandeep Menon, Novell’s Country Head in India, was speaking to the Indian press some days ago, but this issue did not come up. █
