After Acquiring two major Linux Companies - SuSe and Ximian, Novell may be on the lookout for more.

The reasons are as follows:

- Linux has become a major focus for Novell.

- There are still some holes in providing a full end-to-end solution, like providing support for legacy Windows applications.

- Novell has cash!

Who could be the next acquisition ? Codeweaver possibly? Since they have a CrossOver to run Windows application without requiring to buy any further licenses.
