Novell and Ximian Novell's Nat Friedman told InternetNews.com: "The basic concept here is that the standalone operating system is dead." Friedman is Novell's Chief Technology Officer. He added: "The days in which people buy operating systems on their own and then build a stack from there [...] will look like home-built automobiles in the future - people aren't going to do this anymore." This is not the first time some big company predicts the end of the traditional operating system.

SuSE is dead to me.

Suse isn't dead in that we have OpenSuse, and the code won't be going away whatever happens. The people around that project seem to be clued in reasonably well and they've done some meaningful stuff. The problem is that the people at Novell making the decisions just aren't making proper use of OpenSuse, and the people, to help them. More fool them, really.
