Smells like Microsoft Spirit
Posted by: OwlWhacker on May 15, 2003 03:24 PMSCO moving to the legal arena sounds amusing.
I can see the future... "We're losing this case, let's sue the court... and the witnesses... to hell with it, let's sue the whole world!"
A Gartner analyst posits that the IBM lawsuit is a way to make SCO more tempting as a takeover candidate.
I can see a new phrase soon to be used in the business world:
"Think before you act - you don't want to end up like SCO"
SCO has little reason not to put its Linux business on hold. I suspect it has had a hard time selling any copies since it announced the IBM lawsuit.
Yes, this is a typical Microsoft-style manouver, turn something that's hurting you into a positive move - especially when you have no choice.
