LOL, according to you and Jokelaw all the claims were going to be completely thrown out years ago. FYI the actual trial hasn't even started yet.

It's good to see that "Baghdad Bob" has found a new gig.

Actually, 3/4 of SCO's "charges" never were even attempted to be substantiated in SCO's final disclosures to the court -- that means the "put up or shut up" time in the case.

IBM was not permitted to attack the merits of SCO's case until the final disclosures.

The final disclosures have now been submitted.

SCO's case is revealed as pathetic.

Yesterday, over 1/2 of what was left of SCO's case was thrown out, on evidentiary grounds.

The final remaining piece will be thrown out very soon, on substantive legal grounds (i.e., that even if what SCO alleges is true, SCO loses as a matter of law by order of the judge, and no trial is required) pursuant to IBM's soon-to-be-filed motion for summary judgment.

You, Golden Eagle, will have to eat crow -- there's nothing more to say.

Aside from the claims that SCO itself dropped, and the attempts at new claims already denied by the court, this is a huge number of their claims simply gone because SCO couldn't show what they said they had since the beginning.

As for the claims now on the table, do you remember a motion for summary judgement by IBM a while ago? The judged was sympathetic to it, but said it was too early and IBM is free to re-file (the order seemed to encourage IBM to do so) as soon as discovery is over -- which is soon.

And when it does start it will deal with, at most, about a 10th of what was originally filed by SCO. Face it this is a huge loss for SCO which should have stuck to extorting smaller companies like auto-zone rather than IBM..
