The Victor Raisys Back Story
,----[ Quote ]
| Do you, by any chance, remember the name Victor Raisys? He was a technology
| analyst at Soundview Technology Group, who predicted difficulties for Linux
| when the SCO litigation began in 2003.
|
| [...]
|
| I'm a simple soul, and while I realize that odd coincidences do happen in
| life, I still can't help but notice a man, whose job at Microsoft was to
| figure out how to stop Linux, showing up at Soundview just when the SCO
| litigation began, where he mirrored the Microsoft position regarding the
| threat to Linux SCO represented and dissing Red Hat. In the end, what it all
| means I'll have to leave to others. My role is research, which I present with
| links so you can verify and reach your own conclusions.

| This story is more than the apparent history lesson - a history that we've
| lived through together.
|
| Microsoft has seeded employees throughout industry - and occasionally that
| placement has been blatant - as brought to light in the MA-OOXML and ISO
| down-your-throats debacle.
|
| In propagandist positioning, this tendency has been particularly strong -
| recall MoG and her husband and their transparency concerning towing the
| Microsoft barge down its canal.
|
| The "single source of negativity" articles that Victor Raisys has
| participated in certainly fits into that pattern.

| Maureen O'Gara, that intrepid American technology [sic] journalist [sic],

Where'd They [Microsoft and its ilk] Get That? - Part One
,----[ Quote ]
| Is that not a wonder? She [O'Gara] tells us what is in a sealed
| document, that it is about some privileged IBM email. Privileged
| means that the public isn't supposed to learn about it. So does
| sealed. If you go to the court, they are not supposed to give you
| that info, so the logical source would be one of the parties. I
| think we may safely assume it wasn't IBM, and it would be improper
| for SCO to release it.

Groklaw's Jones Confident Amid SCO Deposition Summons
,----[ Quote ]
| A bit of personal viewpoint, if I may: Throughout this case, a number
| of parties and even some individuals in the press, with the
| noteworthy exception of Pamela Jones, have tried to make this story
| about themselves. It's as if Groklaw managed to prove that one
| individual can indeed be influential, but they can't seem to
| re-create the formula to build a similar platform for themselves.
|
| There's also perhaps a bit of envy on the part of some observers
| that a following of thousands can be assembled around an
| essentially anonymous writer who wishes to maintain her anonymity,
| and who has aptly demonstrated her legal right to do so.
