I made quite a few visits there, as well as to their Herndon, VA offices. I liked Provo much better. The old Novell campus was at the base of the mountains, and it was so beautiful.

Of course, when Eric Schmidt was CEO, that spelled the end for Novell. Buying Unix from ATT, then pushing it as an alternative to their flagship product at the time, Netware 4, as I recall.

I'm convinced that the marketing execs had been bribed by Microsoft! Novell's directory services was able to do things more than 20 years ago that Microsoft's AD still can't do, and was SO MUCH easier to manage!
