[Luni]-understanding the Linux/SCO court case

[shaun beier]

Microsoft's pockets are fairly deep; everyone has a price (if people want to 
admit this is another story); how many governmental, law, millitary (and the 
list goes on any one) offices use microsoft windows and other microsoft 
applications?. I wonder what Microsoft has threatened to these governmental 
offices and what would happen if they ever lost a serious case? Come to 
think of it, I wonder if Microsoft has ever had to buy anyone off, or if the 
threats are powerful enough?

Wake up and smell the coffee. Microsoft is never going to lose any 
significant case. Microsoft is a monopoly and it continues to get worse. 
Now, because of how many governmental branches rely on Microsoft, everything 
would be screwed if Microsoft got canned. This is the world in which 
Microsoft owns and runs --- like it or not.
