I think Novell has a good strategy with SUSE but the message needs to get to higher levels of IT management. Mid-level managers are afraid of rocking the boat and senior managers are afraid of their CxO peers who support the 'nobody gets fired for buying MS' mindset.
I think they have to demonstrate to the CxO people that their solutions are viable, flexible and integrate well into their existing environments while saving them money. No doubt that is what they are trying to do, but they should just do more of it.
