SCO v. IBM

Although, I think most commercials are lame, and don't tell me much about the product. I assume you mean the "his name is Linux" commercial - that one is really stupid. The little poem commercials aren't so bad. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Think about some of Darl's comments: "using linux is building your systems on quicksand." and the unspoken message: "and our lawsuit is proof of that." Notice the bozo analysts parroting the SCOX/MSFT line of BS? A lot of those guys do little more than rubber stanp MSFT press releases. SCOX wants to get bought by IBM, and/or scare away linux users in hopes that those users will turn to SCO. This code thing is red herring. It looks like the actual lawsuit has nothing to do with code. SCOX will probably pull the suit at the last minute anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under ...

How on earth can SCOX compete with Linux, FreeBSD, and other UNIX offerings? Finacial statemesnts look like a disaster. Seems to me that, at best, SCOX can hang on to it's current customers. What am I missing? I am not trolling, I'm just new SCOX. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------
