Fact and fiction in the Microsoft-SCO relationship (News.com)

News.com has posted a lengthy article claiming to lay down the truth behind Microsoft's involvement in the SCO case. There is some decent research there, but some things are missing: the name "Mike Anderer" never appears, for example. "But it was Microsoft that helped ensure that SCO could mount the fight, by providing major financial help at least twice in 2003. (SCO's finances are currently being tallied for the quarter ended Oct. 31, with the results to be reported in late December.) Though it doesn't appear that Microsoft was in the driver's seat when it came to SCO's legal attack on Linux, Microsoft's financial assistance was unusual and crucial."
