Just follow his nine-point techie tutorial. That's a sign, if you needed one, that we have permanently entered a new economy. Two years ago, Schmidt left Sun and took charge at Novell, where he has engineered an impressive turnaround. Since Schmidt's arrival, however, the company has become steadily profitable, its stock price has more than doubled, and, within its field, Novell has again come to be seen as a worthy competitor to Microsoft. A good deal of the credit for Novell's turnaround must go to Schmidt, who excels at getting the best out of his geeks.
