Summary: Special episode discussing Novell's sale and Microsoft's patent play, including a discussion about hardware products
THIS is the show where, without preparation, the three of us discuss Novell's sale. Tim's site, OpenBytes, has already published some show notes. We've had some audio issues throughout the show, so pardon occasional background noises/echo.
We already know, based on an HR pattern we saw at IBM and elsewhere, that reallocating roles can be prerequisite for dismissal and those who do so expect many to resign anyway
Right now, like Twitter around the time it was sold to MElon, "open" "hey hi" is a big pile of debt with a lot to pay for that debt (interest payments)
