Having never used NLD (Novell Linux Desktop), I was a little taken aback when I saw such a beaming review.
Of the desktop offerings we have piloted, NLD offered the broadest range of functionality in what we designated as the desktop and mobility space. From the desktop point of view, the system provides a user-friendly environment, ease of administration and an excellent enhancement of the OpenOffice.org productivity suite.
I don't believe there was even one negative point in the review. Tom Adelstein also talks about how Novell is in the progress of switching their entire staff to Linux. It is, afterall, probably tough to sell linux from a windows box.
I remain mostly happy with Ubuntu, except for the occasionally annoying thing where the boot process hangs at "Configuring network devices" (usually solved by hitting the reset button, though I don't know the cause). In an office environment though, NLD probably fits better than any solution to date.
