●● If Novell Turns to Virtualization, Has it Abandoned Its Linux Vision?

Posted in GNU/Linux, Marketing, Novell, Ron Hovsepian at 4:55 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

This fresh press release from Novell certainly changes the tune. No longer does Novell boast bringing SUSE Linux to schools and governments. For a change, Novell considers Windows as part of its infrastructure.

Whether it’s surprising or not probably depends on whether you have been a skeptic or a supporter or the deal. As Shane pointed out last night, Ron Hovsepian perceives that as the company’s new strategy and direction. On the face of it, Novell intends to virtualize Linux within Windows.
