Novell has updated its Client for Windows, the widgetry that enables Novell Open Enterprise Server connectivity.

Novell calls it a major revision of the Novell Client and says it allows a Vista workstation to log in to Open Enterprise Server or NetWare. It includes performance enhancements and adds support for Windows Server 2008.

And, in response to the slow adoption of Vista, the continued interest in XP and the growing opportunity for Linux desktops, Novell is extending support for Novell Client 4.91 for XP/2003 by 18 months to October 2010.

The updated Novell Client supports Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate Editions as well as Windows Server 2008 on both x86 and x64 architectures.

Novell says it is also working with Microsoft to ensure that the Novell Client is fully compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 when they are released.
