SCO Anyone?

They're a litigation company now, not a product company. My guess is they don't expect anyone to do business with them ever again in the traditional sense. A pretty short-term business strategy if you ask me. Makes me think their ultimate goal is to get bought out. Somehow I don't think IBM is going to buy them out.

One of my friends had lunch with some people from SCO the other day and asked them why the IBM suit. Their response was that they thought they could make more money doing this than selling products. Pretty telling.
