Snowed By SCO (Forbes)

Snowed By SCO (Forbes)

As SCO fades away, some of the pro-SCO journalists are being asked some hard questions. Here is the closest thing we'll get to an answer from Dan Lyons on Forbes. "This time, I figured I should at least give SCO the benefit of the doubt. I flew to Utah and interviewed their managers. I attended a SCO conference in Las Vegas and did more interviews. They told me all sorts of things, like they'd found a 'smoking gun' that proved IBM was guilty, and that they were preparing to sue big Hollywood companies that use Linux server farms to make movies. I reported what they said. Turns out I was getting played. They never produced a smoking gun. They never sued any Hollywood company."
