Juergen Geck, chief technology of Suse Linux at Novell, is leaving the company at the end of the week, Novell has announced.

Is it possible that he and Jeffrey Jaffe, CTO of Novell who left in November, have realized that the organization has NEVER had an effective marketing plan that can compete with Microsoft's marketing machine?

The old SuSe never really did care for the 'Hype' market, and I don't think Novell does either. But the atmospher at Novell is just not the same as it was with SuSe in N?remberg. It just doesn't have the same feeling, character. Linux is not in compitition with MS that's all media hype. It's apples and oranges and tomatos.
