ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft opened a new round Tuesday in its public spat with Novell with the launch of a migration program to move Novell NetWare customers to Windows Server 2003. The kit includes tools, prescriptive guidance, training, newsgroup-based technical support and a financial incentive of $600 to $15,000.

"Customers have increasingly told us that they are looking for ways to make the move to Microsoft's reliable server platform and road map, but are concerned about migration issues," Martin Taylor, general manager of Platform Strategy at Microsoft, said in a statement.
