Question:
A combination of Sun/Apple/Netscape is the 1997 equivalent of what
failed 1994 deal?
Answer:
Ray Noorda's Novell purchased WordPerfect to dominate the application
market and Unix Systems Laboratory (from AT&T) to get an operating
system. The goal was to build synergy to compete against Microsoft on
all fronts.
My Prediction:
History repeats itself, with the same glowing results (for Microsoft I
mean, Novell canned Noorda and is now in the dumps).
