Or it could just be that Novell has two faces. We've heard of it before (actually I'm reminded of Sun around a year from now). It's like having two arms with one doing what other doesn't know about, until the whole body is thrown into who knows what kind of mess.

EDIT: Heck, maybe that guy who keeps posting those comments about Ximian people taking over Novell and heading towards world domination with MS is right. Yeah it's all Miguel De Icaza's fault! :P

Remember a company called Caldera?
