Microsoft's help was predictable, wish I had predicted it! They're just underwriting the lawsuit - I hope IBM has the good sense to bleed them as much as possible.
Never happen - Microsoft's lawyers are on staff, so there's no bleeding! However, I hope IBM has the judge specifically ask SCO whether there are any unrepresented 3rd parties providing financial assistance for the suit. They have a material interest and could be forced to be present. If SCO says 'no'. they could be bled quickly! If they still are able to fight after that, then someone's lied. I wonder if someone could set up a trust fund - to provide support to anyone who can provide verifiable & admissible evidence that this whole thing is a M$ ploy (something like the Halloween papers). Reason for the trust fund - if that someone happened to be a M$ employee, they'd have a real tough time getting another job with the legal stuff M$ would throw at them.
