Seen over @ NTCompatible (thanks guys). It seems Novell have released the client software that enables XP users to connect to Novell Servers. So if you were waiting for it, here it is!
The Novell Client for Windows XP software allows users of Windows XP workstations to access and use all of the services available on servers running NDS*. The 32-bit Novell Client product brings the full power, ease of use, manageability, and security of NDS to Windows XP workstations. Novell Client for Windows XP fully supports NetWare* and NDS services and utilities on a Windows XP workstation, including integrated messaging, multiprotocol support, management, security, and file and print services.
