Novell is talking to a number of OEMs about getting its upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 preinstalled on the hardware systems they ship. But while Ron Hovsepian, Novell's president and chief operating officer, said the company had nothing to announce in this regard at its annual BrainShare conference here, Novell is talking to a number of key vendors like Dell in this regard. "I know there is an opportunity here and we are working on the how and the when," he said in a media and analyst question and answer session. The delay of Vista could not have come at a better time for Novell, in this regard.

The point is, though, you have no idea what is marketing drivel, apparently.
Wow, is that a personal opinion is it?
Have a look at the article. They're announcing their non-announcement of something that doesn't exist and they're not doing it yet.
What's your point of reference?
When someone announces something they're not doing ;-).
It IS a concern amongst large shops to minimize vendor lock.
That's something they say, not something they do. How many companies do you see running Red Hat, Suse and Sun just to avoid lock-in? None, that's how many.
People run Windows in places and Linux/Unix, mostly out of sight at the back-end, simply because it is the best solution for the job - not because they want to avoid lock-in.
Your dismissal of an idea doesn't render it drivel...it's just drivel as far as you're concerned.
Ahh, the old "it's your opinion" thing :-).
Far as I'm concerned, your baseless ranting about Novell is no less drivel.
Hmmm. When someone specifically announces their non-announcement of something they're not doing yet, is calling that drivel baseless? No, it isn't.
