According to a person who reads an article in a japanese newspaper, AT&T will sell 77 % of the stock it owns of USL to Novell. So AT&T will probably be a big shareholder still (23%?). In any case, does anyone have any idea what Novell will do U**X as we know it? Will it be a better Novell file server ? :-) In terms of PC (I mean Intel x86 architecture machines), this is a good thing since I am quite suire Novell has better handle on marketing in competitive PC market than USL or AT&T has. On the other hand, on workstation side (I mean SUN, and other workstatins), this sales to Novell makes whale of questions unanswered. Suddenly, Solaris (SunOS/SysVR4) doesn't look glittering in my eyes anymore. What will USL do to keep U**X at the cutting edge of emerging technology?
