This has to be a hoax

Without confirmation that this is what it claims to be, I don't see how we can believe it.

There are so many errors in the purported email, that I cannot see any sort of professional sending it to a fellow like Chris Sontag. Spell checkers are common in email programs, after all.

The email looks more like the work of a junior high student who doesn't know the keyboard well enough to write a virus, so he gets his kicks this way.

The contents of the email are just the proof all of us want to see about SCO's and Microsoft's actions, something which makes me even more suspicious. Be very wary when someone tells you exactly what you want to hear.

I think we need to wait until somebody's lawyers can subpoena the original before we put much stock in its sensationalistic claims.
