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.
