That said, it wasn't a very encouraging session for NetWare fanatics. Key points:
- There will almost definitely not be another point-rev of NetWare. No NW7, no NW6.6
- SP6 may, or may not, be the OES2 release.
- Service Packs past SP6 will be developed towards a virtualized environment, not a 'bare metal' environment.
- Xen will include virtual storage drivers, and 3rd parties will continue to offer drivers as usual.
- 3rd parties dropping NetWare driver support will most likely force NetWare into Xen in the future
- Due to how Xen works, certain keyboard combinations we all know and love will have to change.
