Does anyone REALLY think that IBM could be bested by an upstart like SCO. IBM has been around for quite sometime..and they know this game. You don't survive for 107 years without being a little on the tough side..
Indeed. That's a masterpiece of understatement. I suspect the whole SCO silliness will not amount to much in the end. And as far as Linux goes, it's much too little and far too late for SCO to really affect Linux; it's awfully hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube, and Linux is very quickly becoming ubiquitous.
Seems a fair amount of their grumblings revolve around the 64 bit devel stuff and the fact that the big vendors opt to focus on Linux rather than 'nix in general... which means that SCOs prospect of garnering more revenue from licensing was [pun intended] nixed by DELL, HP, and the other big boys.
I soooo wish someone would take Ransom Love, Darl MacBride and the rest of the Utah twit brigade and place them in a cage and drop them in the Great Salt Lake until the bubbles stop coming to the surface.
Well, you'd have to pick your spot well, alot of the Great salt lake is very shallow and they could very well be able to keep their head about water. But then again letting them stew from the neck down in salt water wouldn't be so bad either now, would it?
