"The net result is that what happens next will be fascinating to watch. I expect that there will be a great deal of activity behind the scenes as well as in plain view.

An IBM, an Oracle or an SAP wouldn't have to buy Novell outright to remove Novell's Linux distro from the risk category - they could simply approach Elliot even before the sale, and arrange to buy it simultaneous with the close of the purchase of the Novell shares by Elliott. Between the near-$1 billion in Novell's account and the proceeds of such a sale, Elliott would be buying the rest of Novell for pennies on the dollar."
