Some day maybe someone will figure out how to put the Linux package together with a browser, and make it easy to install. When that finally happens, we can kiss all the Microsoft garbage goodbye. Until then, these lawsuits prevent the public from getting a really good alternative.

Indeed, $CO is in deep trouble. Even Darl's keynote and Sontag's discussion forum on Tuesday both failed to elevate the stock price. The partnership with Boies' firm has confirmed the transformation from a (lousy) software company to a (lousy) litigation house. They're in trouble with the discovery process in the IBM case, they're trying to stall the RedHat case; and they appear to be gearing up to sue some "corporate" Linux user, attempt to re-try the AT&T/BSDI case, and bully Novell over the SuSE deal.

Sounds like the lawyers are calling the shots here, and Darl is going along with it.

They're almost out of friends now, they were almost out of money (down to $13M or so I hear) before the $50M infusion from the friends of Paul Allen and/or Bill & Melinda.

The early December hearing is gonna be a hoot. I hope IBM moves for dismissal.

The end game in the SCO fiasco is at hand...

LMAO! They wish! Even Linux fanatics like Vaughan-Nicols at EWEEK know this is nowhere near over.

Great stuff!

I don't want to belabor the point, but let's all remember, one cannot spell FIASCO without SCO.
