Looking at what SCO has accomplished in court, I personally don't see it going to trial.

The only way this could go to trial is if the lawyers and executives for IBM are actually stupid enough not to file motions for dismissal or summary judgment.

Another way of looking at this is not really stupidity (for not filing for a summary judgement), but ferocity. The more they can drag SCO through the wringer, the worse off they'll be later.

...And the stronger the message will be to other would-be extortionists.

IBM already has one in the pocket for when the judge says it's time for such filings.
