SCO long, it's been bad to know ya
,----[ Quote ]
| The elusive Pamela Jones of Groklaw -- whom SCO tried unsuccssfully to locate
| so they could force her to provide a deposition earlier this year, in yet
| another strange twist to the case -- reports that the trial to determine
| damages will take place next January. With any luck, the SCO farce will be
| just a bad memory by mid February -- a nice valentine to those of us who have
| a fondness for open software that stays open.

| Novell isn't likely to collect much scratch out of this. It's unlikely SCO
| will have anything left, once it pays off its attorneys -- the only true
| winners in this case.

Did Microsoft ruin SCO?

| 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."
