I’d say with sarcasm that Microsoft will probably have him “suicided”* before IBM gets to The Puppet Master. There is one Microsoft employee who dived out his office window in WA some months ago, but it is not related.

__
* suicided is a term used to describe deaths like that of Doctor Kelly, where the secrets kept by the victim are too sensitive to make a suicide easily believable.

The SCO case has the potential to break Micro-Soft’s neck.

If IBM should be able to proove that SCO is a MS puppet and MS stiffles deliberately IBM’s Linux business, the damages for which IBM might sue Micro-Soft will well exceed all cash reserves of Micro-Soft.

And somehow I feel that we are getting closer to the day when IBM finally decides to go after he puppet master.

Groklaw reckons Microsoft expands a little in Utah in order to employ/reward SCO employees.

Hey, a minor amusing note from Wikipedia: When Google Chrome OS was announced, the shills commented saying "uh this is just a copy of the Microsoft Gazelle browser OS ya rly." Gazelle is of course vaporware - it exists only as a Microsoft Research paper, no product in sight. So I went to the Wikipedia article, which was a one-paragraph note with no third-party references. So I tagged it for "prospective deletion", which means "this really needs either fixing or trashing soon thanks." Within three hours, an IP editor came along and brought it up to just about minimum standard. So the article lives. The IP is there in the history, it's 192.102.82.253, which is owned by ... The SCO Group, Lindon UT! Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, SCO and Microsoft are completely separate entities, and good contributions from anywhere are most welcome. Yep.
