Best comment I heard was along the lines of "If Frankenberg couldn't fix it,
other HP execs won't do any better!" I temd to agree with the notion that the
only thing that might save Novell is to be bought by a company like Netscape,
or possibly CA. It's a wonder that a company with a successful product, one
that still has Microsoft beat on Enterprise features, nonetheless is losing
it's way. Of course, they responded to The Internet even more slowly than HP.

NT coming.)
