As a Novell employee, I’ve become more or less accustomed to rumors about other companies purchasing us. Over the years, it’s been IBM, Sun, IBM, IBM, and now Sun again that are supposedly ready to acquire Novell.

Even though Sun has plenty of cash, buying Novell would be an expensive proposition when you look at what Sun thinks about our technology.

From http://news.com.com/Sun+mulls+buying+Novell/2100-7344_3-5292579.html:

“[Sun COO Jonathan] Schwartz said Novell’s non-SuSE products are ‘far less interesting.’”

Nice.

I don’t see this happening. But, as Dennis Miller says, “Of course that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.”
