And as long as the OSS community thinks that kind of innuendo is enough to achieve victory Microsoft has nothing to worry about.

There you go again, attacking a straw (wo)man. Along with your ad hominem attacks, this is a time-honored way to score points in debates, but is not so effective at generating truly informative discussion (for those of us who are interested in that).

PJ pointed out that the new funder of SCO is a personal business partner of Bill Gates. It's certainly a point of interest to anyone following the SCO saga, if nothing else, and is potentially relevant to understanding the situation and hence reasonable to report. No one has said or implied that the fact of this relationship is "enough to achieve victory," or anything even close to that.

As for attacking what people supposedly "think" (rather than what they say), I shouldn't have to point out how contrived that is.
