Have a read to refresh your memory. *smile* It's worth it.
"There you have it. At least a third of SCO's entire market capitalization,
and their entire current cash reserves, is payoffs funnelled from Microsoft.
Their 10Qs reveal that every other line of cash inflow is statistical noise
by comparison. The brave new SCOsource business model is now clear: sue your
customers, shill for Microsoft, kite your stock, and pray you stay out of
jail."

Never mind the fact that Gates says Linux is communism and Ballmer calls the
GPL "a cancer" (now this includes Java). More recently, Ballmer argues that
Microsoft is "open to all open source". They love Linux. *rolls eyes*
Nothing would please me more than living the day when Microsoft gets
Enronned.
Best wishes,
Roy
