| The latest instalment in the Unix court case meanwhile was decided recently

In Defense and Praise of Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| However, as a long-time Debian user, I have to wonder what the discontent is
| about. According to the Linux Foundation's 2007 Desktop/Client Survey, Debian
| accounts for a healthy 26.5% of corporate clients and 21% of personal
| desktops. Take Ubuntu and other Debian-derivatives into account, and 90% of
| those participating in the survey were deploying Debian technology (although
| they were often using other distributions as well).

Did Microsoft ruin SCO?
,----[ Quote ]
| 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."
