The February 13th, 1995 issue of Inter@ctive Week reports on page
8 that Ray Noorda launched Caldera to create a new operating system
that will itself run on all major types of desktop computers.
Headed by former Novell executive Ransom Love, Caldera's desktop
operating system will list for $89. Better yet, Caldera's products
should not infringe on Microsoft, if Novell's scrutiny of the projects
is correct.
"We had some of the best attorneys in the industry go through
that," says a Caldera source. The as-yet unnamed Caldera desktop
software -- which uses the "public domain" (journalists can't grok the
GPL) Unix software known as Linux as its kernel --= will act as a
standalone computer operating syustem, or as part of the full Novell
Corsair environment.
