Novell Inc. on Thursday posted a slightly worse-than-expected decline in revenue for its fiscal third quarter, as product sales of identity and security management and systems and resource management software each fell sharply.
More details will be posted tomorrow.

Glad to see you're still not letting the truth get in the way of a story.
Novell is hardly alone in showing revenue drops, not to mention that the summer months usually show a slow down in many industries. Probably has something to do with vacations and holding on to budget money to make sure there's enough to get through the year.
Don't take time to mention that they showed 16 million in net profit - that would just confuse the issue right? After all your crowing about Novell and M$ going into debt and being on the brink of the abyss - you wouldn't want to scan the balance sheet and notice that they've reduced their debt by 200 million. That would make things too murky for your readers right?
In case you haven't noticed, the only companies in the US who have posted really good results are the ones who received bailout money.
To be very clear, this does not describe "Linux" anything; it's true in just about every facet of news, except the paid-for fake "journalism" about "hey hi" (sites getting paid explicitly to maintain or rekindle hype)
Restricted Boot (so-called 'SecureBoot') does not improve security. It is nothing but trouble. It's meant to trouble non-Windows users. In dual-boot setups, SecureBoot is a recipe for disaster because Microsoft keeps erasing or tampering with the boot sector, to paraphrase an associate
The real solution is, disable "secure boot" or "SecureBoot" while it's still possible. [...] Just like submarine patents, a lot of this problem was "hibernating" for a while
