> Novell and Ximian have complementary properties

Could be, if they emphasize services. As products, Novell has been in decline and Ximian never prove themselves. They have CTP in the group, so CTP could become the milk cow based on Novell and Ximian products, just as IBM makes money on the services based on their platforms. The problem is that it isn't easy to became another IBM...

Small is beautiful.
