So, should Sun buy Novell?

Network World Fusion 08/04/04

Peter O'Kelly muses on those Sun/Novell stories:

"... Unless something significant happens neither Sun nor Novell are going to exist five years from now. A case can be made that Novell barely exists now, unless you happen to still be running NetWare. Sun talks about its great cash position for doing acquisitions but what that really means is Sun still has enough cash to try to buy its way into some new business it can't develop on its own. But the company is also bleeding cash, better spend it (wisely) now than lose it later."

Actually that was me quoting from http://blog.ziffdavis.com/coursey/archive/2004/08/02/1634.aspx; sorry if the quotation marks were too subtle.

Why would Sun want to buy any (Novell) SCO problems??? Doens't make sense to many of us in the application world.
