●● Novell’s Last Month

Posted in Microsoft, Novell, Patents, Videos at 1:55 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: February 2011 will be the last full month of normal operations at Novell

ASSUMING that Novell’s acquisition will go though, tomorrow begins Novell’s last month. The assets of the company face uncertainty. Novell has uploaded this video (2 months ago) to its YouTube channel, perhaps celebrating a last hurrah:

What will happen to all of this once owned by some tiny company from Seattle? Novell’s sale was mentioned on “Dr. Bill – The Computer Curmudgeon” (who worked for Novell). He does not have anything nice to say about Novell. In fact, he believes that Novell’s sale to some scarcely-known company says a lot about how bad Novell is doing. The sale of Novell was also mentioned in video by LAS and “Linux / OpenSource Geek News” (parts I and II). “Novell sells out/Microsft get patents” says the summary and earlier this month the Seattle press said that “Seattle-based Attachmate bought Novell for $2.2 billion in November.” Owned by Microsoft’s state, eh? And Novell’s patents go quite directly to Microsoft. There are so many CPTN complaint articles (we covered those before, but there is much more). There are articles that are worth keeping track of among the ones that we missed, e.g. eWEEK’s piece with a heading that says “CPTN Holdings: Syndicate Or Cartel?”
