| So what do you do if you're the CEO of a $65 million software company that's losing money, losing market share and -- worst of all -- has a stock that's lost 99% of its value in the space of two years? If you're Darl McBride of The SCO Group, you file a billion-dollar lawsuit against IBM. Then drop the product you've staked your future on. Then send threatening letters to about 1,500 of your biggest potential customers. Then announce a deal with Microsoft.
Result: SCO's stock is up 500% since January.

| Thats pretty interesting. I didnt realize their stock had shot up. There must be a few that are counting on them winning and gutting every Linux distro for millions of dollars each.
If they lose, SCO will fade away.
If they win, I think several Linux distros will go under because of it. But I dont think we have anything to worry about though. | |

| Here is an intresting twist.
Lindows and Microsoft who are not the best of friends ,to say the least, have a common colleague in the SCO.

Here is what Novell says about SCO's actions.
I read that one. It gets stranger and stranger all the time.
How do we know who to believe anymore? | |
