Well, I have no idea if Bill Gates/Microsoft is in bed with SCO, but if they are working behind the scences to off Linix and all its accomplishments, then maybe this Judge is right and that Bill Gates really is "the evil prick son of a ***** who runs it [Microsoft]"! I mean, from what I have heard from freinds that Linix and even Lindows is a great system. Maybe Bill Gates should concentrate on making Windows a better OS (ie. less bugs/more compatiability) and not try to cut peopls throats all the time. Heck, isn't that one of the principles of what my country (the United States) was built on... competition?

Jeez, did Bill Gates as a kid in school get picked on or something? I'm no psychologist but it feels like a very similar childhood to how Adolf Hitler's youth was like... always rejected.

SCO says "words, words, words"

Following a brief intermission, we will hear a rebuttal

All of this is just window dressing for the side show. If SCO makes a few bucks along the way, then they go off extra happy. But in the end, a preliminary ruling will be the main event as far as BG is concerned. From what I have seen, SCO has a case if they own the UNIX code in question. There are a lot of details to work out as far as the limits of existing licenses and such, but the Linux community will have a few problems to work out because of the longstanding use of existing code by contributors. But in the end, what UNIX code SCO owns will be more or less set in stone. Then look for them to sell said rights, paving the way for the next incarnation out of the North West. Can you say Windows Server UE? (UNIX Edition)

SCO has friends in corporate places. Friends married to Bill Gates.

Great stuff from Bash.org. Some content from this site may not be safe for work. It is extraordinarily vulgar, as you might expect from IRC.

code:
Topic in #os: hey guyz, stop pickin on irix.

<ibm> lol
<SCO> no wayz, i will sell more linux than u!

<SuSE> Ja. Wir bilden gutes Linux für IBM.
<SCO> can we do linux with you?
<SuSE> Ich bin nicht sicher...
<ibm> *cough*
<SuSE> Gut lassen Sie uns vereinigen.

<SuSE[UL]> Ja! Wir sind vereinigtes Linux. Widerstand ist vergeblich.
<red_hat> haha. no.
<red_hat> lamers.
<ibm> what about you debian?
<debian> we'll discuss it and let you know in 5 years.
<caldera[UL]> no one wants my linux!
<turbolinux[UL]> i got owned.
