SCO's FY06 results: not a pretty picture (Linux-Watch)

Linux-Watch examines SCO's recently released fourth quarter financial report. "SCO's revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $7.349 million, a decline of over a million dollars from $8.528 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The company managed to staunch its losses to a degree. The net loss for the quarter was $3.743 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $3.431 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year. Darl McBride, president and CEO said in a conference call that "The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on the company's Unix products and services.""

That's too bad.

I am sure that SCO has/had some very good people working for them and it's a shame. And even IBM did actually seem screw SCO over, sorta, but SCO had to try to bring in Linux...

Now as far as the upper management goes.. They are probably about as close to being crooks as you can get and not get sent to jail.

according to McBride. "The last thing we'll do is walk away from this fight,"

He's rigth, for once. Except the "walk away" part offcourse.

This fight will indead be the last thing SCO does. But they won't be walking away from it. They'll be dead. Bankrupt. History.
