There's a lot about this saga going on in the news. It doesn't directly
involves operating systems, but have a look.

I wouldn't be surprised if an even larger company with far poorer ethics
could pull the same tricks and intimidate reporters. Then comes to mind the
eavesdropping on PJ (possible SCO/MS attempt to identify IBM connections).
This also involved attempts to contact PJ's parents.
