This is a very interesting theory of Mr Schwartz. IBM’s trackrecord with regards to OS’s is not so good when you look at history. My theory has always been that IBM would buy Novell at a certain time. Maybe Sun is just trying to iny important to the increase the price; not that that would matter to IBM.
Opensource sure means a lot of politics and is very very important to the different server manufacturers don’t you think so?
Sun’s Jonathan Schwartz: “Whoever owns Novell controls the OS on which IBM’s future depends.”
