Santa Cruz Exec, 1999: Linux Hasn't Hurt SCO, It's Helped Us
,----[ Quote ]
| Hilarious. Simply hilarious. He also found this 1998 article
| on the announcement of Project Monterey. What stands out is
| that even in 1998, according to the article, Linux was listed
| as a competitor in the enterprise market, which refutes SCO
| Group's recent claim that prior to IBM's contributions to
| Linux in 2000, no one used Linux instead of Unix. Back in
| 1998, the article ends by noting, Microsoft owned "between
| 11 and 14 percent of SCO". You can't escape those old press
| releases.

Should remind you of Microsoft's attempt to claim that they actually love
Linux.

| "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."
