[SCO Cutting Down]
,----[ Quote ]
| I heard through numerous sources yesterday that SCO has laid off more
| employees ... continuing to downsize. I heard that 30-40 people were let
| go ... the company has shrunk to 50-70 people total now.

| It seems that New Jersey ... the original birthplace of UNIX ... is on the
| verge of shutting down and going away.

| SCO has filed its 10K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31,
| 2007. What a year it has been. They are down to 115 employees as of that
| date. Probably less now. They "anticipate a reduction in force as a result of
| Chapter 11 bankruptcy and in order to return to profitability". Uh huh.
| Product revenue is down 27%. They expect that to continue. They can't
| guarantee they'll make it out of Chapter 11.

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.
