- Have you ever wondered why Novell would decide to aquire USL? It cannot be
- an attempt to kill UNIX, cause there are so many vendors out there that
- would opt for MACH or BSD if the prices for kernel licenses increased
- tenfold. It is my opinion that must have felt they could gain something
- with this purchase, for instance the knowhow to build real operating
- system facilities into NetWare.
