Linux and Microsoft (Yet Again) (IT-Director)

Time for our daily analyst pronouncement: Robin Bloor has a column on IT-Director which looks at several topics, including total cost of ownership, the SCO lawsuit, and the future of Linux. "The current battle being played out is for the desktop. Linux has all the momentum it needs in the server market and it appears to be gaining ground in the third world at a rate that has got major manufacturers creating Linux PC offerings. The next few years will be interesting to watch."

SCO's Warchest

Posted Jun 24, 2003 4:08 UTC (Tue) by llywrch (guest, #9903) [Link]

Did I miss something? Last I heard, MS paid the SCO Group something like $5-8 million for a UNIX license - which, combined with licensing fees from an unknown vendor, gave the SCO Group a quarterly profit of about $10 million.

Where did Robin Bloor get the ``$100 million" figure?
