| 3. SCO suit gets slapped down. “The judge slapping down SCO in the SCO vs.
| IBM/Novell lawsuit was the smartest move,” says Andreas Antonopoulos,
| founding partner at Nemertes Research and a Network World columnist. “It was
| a completely frivolous lawsuit by SCO against Linux when it sued IBM and
| Novell for intellectual property infringement and then failed to prove it. It
| was great that it got dismissed.”

| Which comes to the scenario in mind. Gates approaches McBride and puts forth
| a proposition that SCO should try and make money out of Linux. He offers to
| bankroll the operation in a backhanded manner and then steps back to watch
| the action unfold. His reasoning for doing this? To have a test run before he
| puts Microsoft through the same paces. Either way he wins.

| "There you have it. At least a third of SCO's entire market
| capitalization, and their entire current cash reserves, is payoffs
| funnelled from Microsoft. Their 10Qs reveal that every other line of
| cash inflow is statistical noise by comparison. The brave new
| SCO source business model is now clear: sue your customers, shill
| for Microsoft, kite your stock, and pray you stay out of jail."
