Which extends my favorite conspiracy theory: that Novell was secretly in
cahoots with Microsoft. If you look at stuff that was going on at Novell,
they bought UNIX, a big MS competitor at the time, and drove it into the
ground. They bought DR-DOS, to drive it into the ground. Then he started
Caldera, and recently has started working on destryoying Linux.
More than coincidence...?
