OS News are reporting this article on Computerworld that says Novell Australia will be used as Novell's test bunny for moving its entire organisation to a Novell Linux Desktop environment, similar to IBM's move to Linux Desktop this should make the corporate desktop environment a interesting arena in a year or 2.
Novell's local operation is taking a leading role in an ambitious year-long plan to move all the company's 6000 worldwide staff onto Linux desktops.promoted forum item

Novell - *VERY* secure networking system -- with in reason.

If Novell has been working for Universities and Government Departments for ages...
They must be doing something *RIGHT* for it to work for that long.

It's also worth noting at this point that one of the reason a number of Govt depts still run NetWare is because it's C2 certified secure on a network, unlike M$ Windoze. Ya, Solaris and other variants of Unix can get C2, but the mgt skill base isn't quite as developed and 'open' as desirable. To the secure agencies, this is very important. Also eDirectory (prev. NDS) is a central point of mgt for all the Novell stuff. Even MS isn't there yet with that side of the story yet.
All the comments about windows costing, etc is spot on. The interesting thing to see will be how well managed Linux will become whilst still maintaining it's 'open source' flexibility, etc. It's all about ongoing support of your environment. No point putting in sometihng for your 25000 workstations if it's going to cost you >$AU20M per year to just keep them running (without updating them to newer versions, etc!) and basically supported (people).
