Novell means to create an open source apps store chockablock with free software that can be uploaded in a click, according to PC Pro. The British publication talked to Novell's VP of business development Holger Dryoff. Apparently it's aimed mostly at the netbook market where Novell plans to have a SUSE edition of the open source Moblin operating system near and dear to Intel's heart. Presumably Novell figures the borrowed scheme will advance Moblin's fortunes against Microsoft.
