Novell...you're a bunch of schmucks.

Microsoft settled a court case with Novell less than a week ago for $536 million. So what does Novell do with the money? File another court case against Microsoft.

Whatever happened to building your business by building superior products rather than trying to sue the frontrunner? Novell doesn't even own the products that they're suing about anymore. Does this mean that if Novell wins, Corel will follow suit using the Novell victory to carve out a chunk of Bill for themselves?

I guess that Novell is trying to pull a SCO and have litigation be their only source of income. It's a shame, too. I thought that their investments in Mono were a positive step.
