Overall the ruling was a win for SCO, pure and simple. No one expected this case to be thrown out, these requests are purely procedural.

The actual big news here is that the Red Hat case has been put completely on hold until the IBM case is resolved, or as late as 2006. This is a slap in the face to Red Hat, since their actual reason for suing SCO was to put an end to SCO's public statements against Linux, which can now continue for probably the next year or two. On the bright side for Red Hat, maybe their requests for donations to their legal fund might have chance to build up some by then.

Way to spin a judge telling SCO that their claim redhat has no case was garbage.

To Summarize:

Sco: Judge, this lawsuit by redhat has no merit you should throw it out..

Judge: No, it has enough merit to stand, but we will wait until the root of your claim (contract dispute) is somewhat clearer. Oh and by the way if the IBM trial does not preceede quickly enough well look at this now

GE: Wow what a win for SCO...

Not necessarily. Declaratory judgement on copyright, which could be handed down in October, could kill SCO. And if SCO drags its feet with IBM the judge may allow this case to go forward anyway.
