Crimes Microsoft Gets Away With - So Far

,----[ Quote ]
| News publications are cautious about making accusations, and because of that, 
| some nasty acts of Microsoft are essentially being erased from the record. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| Microsoft convinced Baystar Capital to put $50 Million dollars into SCO's 
| lawsuit against IBM and other Open Source users, and promised to "backstop" 
| Baystar's investment if SCO lost money, according to this sworn testimony. 
| But I'm told that one person's testimony, even sworn testimony, isn't proof.

After SCO Dies

,----[ Quote ]
| Could Novell open-source Unix? What will OpenServer customers do? Can Sun
| claim some customers for OpenSolaris?
|
| [...]
|
| It's going to happen. Some time in 2008, SCO will finally stop thrashing on
| the floor and die. Will it be Novell draining it dry of its last financial
| resources in the U.S. District Court in Utah? Or, will it be the bankruptcy
| court in Delaware divvying up the last bits and pieces of the once-proud Unix
| company?

Did Microsoft ruin SCO?

,----[ Quote ]
| Which comes to the scenario in mind. Gates approaches McBride and puts forth
| a proposition that SCO should try and make money out of Linux. He offers to
| bankroll the operation in a backhanded manner and then steps back to watch
| the action unfold. His reasoning for doing this? To have a test run before he
| puts Microsoft through the same paces. Either way he wins.
