Think they are branded IBM/Buffy. The stakes have well and truly been sharpened... the gun loaded, and the garlic is hanging.

SCO is likely to dive into that swimming pool of Holy Water whilst backing away from IBM.

What's sad, the way this is going IBM/Novell will find SCO goes under before they can pay out their losses.

It will be interesting after all the wash just 'how involved' Microsoft has been throughout the whole crusade. Where does this actually leave Microsoft Unix Services for Windows?

In the same place as OpenSolaris, not moved at all. They purchased the right to some Unix IP, SCO was an authorized reseller of Unix IP, so the trouble between SCO and Novell doesn't really concern them, at least for this bit.
