Dell will want to keep HPQ at arms lenght on the Microsoft/Novell partnership. That is why they joined the partnership. If good, they will buy it. HPQ will try to muscle in.

That’s all the public info for now. Try to keep an open mind on this one.:)

That sounds like an axtremely unlikely outcome since Dell has such close/strategic relationships with MSFT and RHT. Dell has proven again and again that it is a hardware distribution company … not a software R&D company.

Why would Dell acquire Novell when Dell’s server business has such a good thing going with Red Hat and Microsoft?
