Story: Novell ditches top execs

Novell has only been COPYING Redhat's strategies. I can't see why I should use a "clone company" instead of the real one.
Moreover, they screwed up SUSE Linux royally, changing many things in the distro and angering a lot of users.
So now they don't have the old userbase (including myself, I'm now replacing SUSE Professional-based small businesses' servers with ubuntu due to both technical problems with 10.1 and 'termination' of the 'Professional' brand) and they won't be able to make Redhat customer switch to them.
Delivering a badly broken package management system in SUSE 10.1 didn't help them either.
I really hope the new people will be able to change something, but I won't be holding my breath.
