Kids! Never trust any product with Enterprise in the title unless it comes with batteries and has a light up deflector array and real torpedo and phaser sounds.
On a similar note, if a website ever uses the acronym "SME" even semi-seriously then you should avoid that assiduously too.

Because of this, we at the GNU Project have recently started GNUterprise, which aims to recreate the propriatery Novell Nterprise enviroment using only software licencsed under the glorious and all encompassing GNU General Public Licence. We have recently release GNUterprise 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1a We hope to release a final version at around the same time as Jimmy Hoffa is found alive with Elvis in Lord Lucans tropical hidaway basement.

The most bigoted person I've ever met in my thirty year career was a Novell MCSE. He makes old VMS zealots look like OSS proponents. This guy is so slobberingly in worship of Novell I swear to $DEITY he's just a breath away from strapping on a vest full of C4 and walking into somebody's Microsoft server room.
