Linux vendors confused by SCO actions (ZDNet)
ZDNet talks with
Linux vendors about the SCO lawsuit. "Red Hat also indicated
that it did not yet see SCO's tactics having an effect on business. "We've
seen no indication from enterprise customers that these statements from SCO
have been a deterrent from viewing Red Hat as a trusted provider of Linux
solutions," the company said in a statement on Thursday."

Linux vendors confused by SCO actions (ZDNet) Posted May 16, 2003 4:06 UTC (Fri) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Confused??????????????????.....No drama, but there has been " a smooking big gun"(as should always) of a declared enemy and ENGAGED IN ACTUAL WAR (FUD)against Linux for to far and far to long ,... and it wasent SCO. "They havent had almost none sucess because Linux wall is to thick and to high, although the guards are at sleep... and so SCO is an almost inside diversion for a front full scale heavy attack. Isn't this carrying the love of peace for to far and for far to long also??? Let's forget about SCO for crying out loud,...SCO is good as dead for whatever may came,... i cannot see or ear IBM worried, nervous or confused, can you??? So it's time to put on the elmet, awake the guards and put up a fight that "they" will never forget, strick very hard rigth there, where it wurts the most to the enemy -DESKTOP; to the point of make them drink their own poison. IN UNION WE CAN FOR CERTAINT WIN, if it cannot be called Linux then we will call it another name, but we will not give in or give up, nor will we stop of tourning arround any obstacle with absolutly no compromise! ... "so strangers from distant lands... unit and win... or fall"
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 16, 2003 4:34 UTC (Fri) by flewellyn (subscriber, #5047) [Link] NEVER post comments while under the influence.

Way back in the day, Microsoft purchased a share of the Santa Cruz Operation. Circa, uh... 1992? Well, actually, Microsoft did own a share of SCO, I was just curious if anyone has any information of a continuing relationship.Be well.
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 16, 2003 5:00 UTC (Fri) by tjc (guest, #137) [Link] Perhaps you're thinking of Xenix?
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 16, 2003 6:31 UTC (Fri) by janpla (guest, #11093) [Link] When SCO boots up it lists some references to Microsoft - It wouldn't surprise me if we could find a direct connection to Microsoft hidden behind this intensely stupid maneuver.Look at it from their perspective (assuming that they ARE behind it) - as long as they aren't found out in a too embarrassing way, this is a very 'cheap' and easy way to try to create problems for their arch enemies.
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 17, 2003 3:25 UTC (Sat) by Photon (guest, #11251) [Link] Ah, yes Xenix! Hee, hee... You are correct sir! I had forgotten this altogether although I still have a very old framed picture of an SCO 8x10 add poster, (in the format of a movie trailer), proclaiming, "A Unix To Be Proud of!". .... and it runs on the IBM AT! :-)Be well.

I worked for both Caldera If anything, bringing SCO into the mix is what corrupted the whole pro-Linux business So, stop blaming Caldera. Caldera went away when SCO folks were brought in.
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 22, 2003 3:42 UTC (Thu) by torsten (guest, #4137) [Link] "I say what was left of, because they'd already laid a large proportion of their engineers, including me." I think you mean laid off.
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 16, 2003 11:27 UTC (Fri) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] At least i'm not confused, and that can only reasure that there is no influence here.When we talk about SCO, that means talking about history and with an ongoing publicity not payed for! When you talk about influence, does that mean you will not put up a fight under any circunstance, and be the first(1ยบ) to leave the ship if it takes water?
Let this be a lesson... Posted May 16, 2003 12:12 UTC (Fri) by jdthood (subscriber, #4157) [Link] > When we talk about SCO, that means talking about history> and with an ongoing publicity not payed for! Your English is not intelligible.
