Bluffing is a broad term. I’m sure there is something there, but good luck in actually getting at what it is. Much better for Microsoft to be vague for as long as possible and scare other businesses away from the use of anything other than windows over possible litigation over.

Blackmail and intimidation, it’s the Microsoft business model ;)

That might have worked except it's almost word for word what SCO has done over the last few years. (They just know it infringes, just can't come up with any specific examples)

Only the most dim rate SCO's credibility at above zero. (What are the Freeper manners, I'm not naming any posters specifically, should I ping them? No need, they'll be along shortly to identify themselves.)

MS following the exact same path won't work. Even PHBs know they've seen this particular line of BS before.

If your intimidation is so transparent even an MBA can see it, you're done, stick a fork in the effort.
