Didn't Microsoft help SCO in some way regarding it's lawsuit against IBM?

I kinda like Ballmer, in a weird way... he reminds me of "Fred Barnes" from "Fox News" for some dang reason... LOL
I think it's the fidgety temper...
To: JohnSheppard
well, that's one side of the argument.
I would love to hear a competent and articulate argument from the other side.
This sounds like Microsoft is attempting to patent the wheel --- again.
Not that their predatory monopolistic track record would influence my attitude towards them, or anything...

Microsoft has suggested that the Linux operating system infringes some of its intellectual property, but it has never named the patents in question. Until they do, it is just FUD.

Ballmer and Micro$oft are running scared.
They know that, in the future, completely free, open source and very very user friendly operating systems will replace the crap that they are putting out.
They can only stuff so much toothpaste back in the tube. Its over. Case in point, Office 2007, who the hell needs it? Even 2003 was pointless. You can't keep repainting the same old house and calling it brand new. And, with Open Office, who in their right mind would pay $200 for Office?
Hey Ballmer, Windows was a good thing, in its time, but the clock is ticking.....
