Going Home for Christmas Early

Posted in Corel, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Mono, Novell at 8:50 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

NOT me, but those other guys from Novell. They go home to ‘mother ship’ (yes, again).

Visiting Microsoft

Joseph, Chris and myself are visiting Microsoft this week to learn more about Silverlight 3.0

Novell’s focus on Microsoft technologies is early sign of what Microsoft did to Corel after the company ‘dared’ to explore (and succeed with) GNU/Linux. █
