I worked for Apple porting Netware to the first PowerPC machines for an Apple server code named that was released with AIX running on it. The Netware project was cancelled as it was about to enter Beta as both companies were hitting hard times. This was in the last days of Spindler’s reign. The only thing Netware had to their advantage was a network of CNEs that made lots of money setting up and maintaining systems. But for small companies it was very expensive and large companies unnecessary as they had internal staffs that were not interested in another OS they had to train staff on. It also made them dependent upon 3rd parties to sell their systems and while it worked for awhile they in the long term will never be loyal. The fact that the company lived so long on protocols ripped off from Xerox (they use to point people to Xerox documentation) is a mystery.
