Novell will have the opportunity to compete against Open Source on a "fair"
basis. It'll be most interesting to see how well this works.

Of course when people trying to fight against a tank they will complain that
it is unfair. When this tank will be put in the swamp (and without cannon
and machinegun shells) they consider that it is fair. :-)
 

the name Microsoft and therefore command the tech managers under
them to use "the best" and that being M$. Then again M$'s lan manager
and Win NT were slow out of the starting blocks, but gained steam over
time.

understanding of the open source approach and goals? But your take on
it doesn't make it so. ;-)
The neighborhood becomes poor, when there is only one software vendor
who supplies so much needed software for ridiculously high prices,
software with questionable quality; because they can. The software
vendor can charged any prices they want because the customer does not
have much choice; he is locked in the vendor solution or there is only
one vendor in the neighborhood and the vendor really doesn't care if
you have a virus on your system or you will suffer expenses in effort
to recreate your lost business data, business interruptions and so
on.. What they care is to sale to you another "greater" version of
the same software for ever higher prices and further increase your
dependency on them. Eventually what is happening that the software
vendor is draining so much money from the region to the point that
there is no any chance for any development at all, or to pay employees
wages. That's poor.
What open source does? Open source provides only possible (because of
a barrier to enter situation ) alternative "a competitor" and just
by being there, the whole situation magically is changing; the big
software vendor has to start thinking about quality, offer reasonable
pricing, and think about security, they have to make their products
better. Thanks to the open source the neighborhood becomes richer and
the technological progress and innovation is rejuvenated, that's the
power of healthy competition... and that's the imminent role of the
open source software..

boxes of Kylix they can, if more then better... then they will have
enough money to fix things ;-)

:-)))) IMHO, complete {*word*99}. Of course they asked "right" bunch of people to
produce "right" results. The most used IDE for Linux application development
GCC/EMACS.

Vi follows close behind.
