Well MS did not know anything about NOS. Fast forward 15 years and Novell is dead and more than that, Microsoft has a huge market share in the NOS space.

Fact is, that this kind of technology requires extensive, long term investment (virtualization and telephony). Most open source projects run out of steam at some point in time and stop innovating.<BR/><BR/>Re VMware shares: You're probably right, though considering their market share and technologyNick Galeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807733715925574961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-89283184306513017592007-11-22T19:05:00.000+02:002007-11-22T19:05:00.000+02:00One of the points he makes in the article is the o...One of the points he makes in the article is the open-source "edge" and how it will affect the VMware market. 3CX is up against open-source Asterisk, sipXpbx and others.
