SCO Microsoft's Puppet?

Mon Sep 15 13:20:38 GMT 2003 SCO Microsoft's Puppet?

Link: Is Microsoft Technology's Legal Puppet-Master?

I dunno. Harry Rider makes some good conjecture toward that, but I suspect more simple explanations are sufficient. Still, I'd never say Microsoft lacked the necessary devious and unscrupulous nature necessary for this.

But would SCO really enter such a Faustian bargain? This is helping the dragon harvest pigs, and we all know what happens when the pigs are all gone. Would SCO really be so short sighted that they'd want to help Microsoft kill the only thing in the world that could save their own sorry butts?

Maybe. If so, SCO will no doubt get a special place in the history of computing. The "infamous traitors" section isn't where I'd want to end up, but people do pretty awful things in pursuit of money.
