Story: Novell's Linux strategy causes customers concern

Does Novell really think that an organization that has used GroupWise as their messaging platform for years, will even consider staying on Novell products after being 'shafted' by Novell's apparent 'Attention Deficit' when it comes to GroupWise?
Open Exchange is a joke - if I want to pay MS for Outlook - I'll buy the real thing - not a cheap knock-off, and there's no way in H--l I'll keep my users on NDS - in case Novell loses attention there too in the future.
FOr a company that has made a career of shooting themselves in the foot - they're clearly aiming higher this time - for the head...
Maybe it's time to rename 'Suse' -to 'Loser'
(Even installing the newly released Novell Linux Desktop fails due to missing packages - and they want me to bet my business on that?)
Although we aren't the largest company in the world - we're abandoning this sinking ship, and will do our best to convince others to do the same.
Customer loyalty is a function of vendor loyalty - and Novell is the Benedict Arnold of software
