Color me suspicious ...Color me suspicious ...Posted Nov 6, 2003 2:42 UTC (Thu) by Peter (guest, #1127)In reply to: Color me suspicious ... by brugolsky Parent article: On Novell's acquisition of SUSE
I'd love to hear Jeff Merkey's thoughts on these acquisitions. Uh, I'd take anything Jeff Merkey said with a grain of salt too. Not saying Novell didn't screw him and Timpanogas, in some way, but the guy's obviously got his own issues. Which is not to downplay his obviously considerable programming talent, I'm just sayin'.

Color me suspicious ... Posted Nov 6, 2003 12:49 UTC (Thu) by brugolsky (✭ supporter ✭, #28) [Link] Yeah, well I take Andre Hedrick with a truckload of salt too, but through all the bluster and rants an occasionally discernible hard truth emerges. And, IIRC, Merkey would admit to having had a few drinks before posting his nastiest rants. :-)I didn't mean to tar all of Utah. Novell is a rather central part of the tech industry there, and I'm rather suspicious of the management (not the engineers!) of the whole constellation of investors and business partners around them, and a lot of seemingly one-sided legal outcomes, always in favor of the folks standing in the shadows ...
