schestowitz | I found a Larry Goldfarb video this morning. | Oct 30 16:24 |
schestowitz | There were two of them actually. | Oct 30 16:24 |
schestowitz | In an older one that I mailed GL he talked about Microsoft. | Oct 30 16:24 |
schestowitz | In this new one he says nothing about SCO or MS... | Oct 30 16:24 |
schestowitz | It's time to get more proof before SCO goes poof! | Oct 30 16:24 |
schestowitz | Microsoft won't go "poof!" as quickly as SCO, but whatever can be done to show the relation is needed. | Oct 30 16:25 |
MinceR | i wonder if MICROS~1 will go "poof!" before novell does | Oct 30 16:28 |
_Doug | "SCO submits the declaration of Darl McBride in which Mr. McBride says that Mr. Goldfarb told him IBM was, quote, on him, on him, on him, close quote" | Oct 30 16:30 |
_Doug | http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?stor... | Oct 30 16:30 |
schestowitz | Yes, I have that one. | Oct 30 16:31 |
schestowitz | I put a quote here in fact: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/10/3... (see top) | Oct 30 16:31 |
_Doug | Your honor, I put it to the court that: MS *did* talk to BAystar about 'investing' in SCO .. that is the substance of Mr. Schestowitzs' declaration | Oct 30 16:33 |
_Doug | (reading four years of discovery has got me talking like a lawyer) | Oct 30 16:34 |
_Doug | Niall: Was Microsoft ever directly involved with the SCO Group in their lawsuit against IBM, either through BayStar Capital or others? | Oct 30 16:36 |
_Doug | Bill: I don't know BayStar. | Oct 30 16:36 |
_Doug | Niall: It's an investment company. One of their executives testified Microsoft invested $50 million to offset SCO's costs in the lawsuit. | Oct 30 16:37 |
_Doug | Bill: When? | Oct 30 16:37 |
_Doug | http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/2006/12... | Oct 30 16:38 |
PetoKraus | hmm, gnewsense in virtualbox runs smooth | Oct 30 16:39 |
_Doug | "Lawrence Goldfarb, managing partner of BayStar, says that senior | Oct 30 16:40 |
_Doug | executives at the software giant had telephoned him about two months before | Oct 30 16:40 |
_Doug | the investment. Would he be interested in investing in SCO" | Oct 30 16:40 |
_Doug | http://www.businessweek.com/technology.../a> | Oct 30 16:40 |
_Doug | "A Microsoft spokesman says that the company has no "direct or indirect" financial relations with BayStar, but declined to comment when asked whether execs?called BayStar to suggest investing in SCO. " | Oct 30 16:40 |
_Doug | Who asked about gnewsense ? | Oct 30 16:41 |
PetoKraus | no one | Oct 30 16:41 |
PetoKraus | i am just saying | Oct 30 16:41 |
PetoKraus | it has actually very nice theme | Oct 30 16:41 |
schestowitz | _Doug: yeah, the gates/Niall thing was fishy. | Oct 30 16:45 |
_Doug | how can bill not know who SCO is and invest $50 million at the same time ?? | Oct 30 16:46 |
schestowitz | I asked around at the time, but got no clear answer. | Oct 30 16:46 |
schestowitz | http://boycottnovell.com/2007/11/... | Oct 30 16:46 |
schestowitz | PetoKraus: the wallpaper is simplistic. | Oct 30 16:47 |
PetoKraus | yes, but very nice | Oct 30 16:47 |
schestowitz | People judge distros just based on theme and wallpaper. | Oct 30 16:47 |
schestowitz | It's mostly the same underneath but integration counts. | Oct 30 16:47 |
schestowitz | "Why not Ubuntu?" | Oct 30 16:48 |
PetoKraus | well, in case of gnewsense, it's not the same underneath ;) | Oct 30 16:48 |
schestowitz | "Cuz the theme is ugly." | Oct 30 16:48 |
schestowitz | "But... but.. you can change it" | Oct 30 16:48 |
schestowitz | "Yeah, but I don't like the name." | Oct 30 16:48 |
PetoKraus | oh god, it's NICE | Oct 30 16:48 |
schestowitz | etc etc. | Oct 30 16:48 |
_Doug | bill buys a 'license' from SCO, gives the nod to Goldfarb to 'invest' in SCO, Sun also buys a license in SCO .. after making an out of court settlement with MS .. | Oct 30 16:48 |
schestowitz | _Doug: these are coincidences. | Oct 30 16:49 |
schestowitz | You're feeling very drowsy. | Oct 30 16:49 |

schestowitz | I don't know. | Oct 30 16:52 |
schestowitz | What's the $86 million about? | Oct 30 16:52 |
_Doug | MS gives SUN $$$ who gives it to SCO ... | Oct 30 16:53 |
schestowitz | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall... "e-mail from consultant Mike Anderer to SCO's Chris Sontag revealing Microsoft's channeling of US$ 86 million to SCO." | Oct 30 16:53 |
