A brief look at IBM's counterclaims

My argument is that it's all part of the game they play. I agree that they are most likely aware of the uselessness of the license. However, they can claim that they didn't know and most of their cohorts and stock-holders will believe them, and support them in helping the rest of the world finish SCO, making MS look like they are "on our side", and not out to get us.

My first reaction is to be very skeptical at every move that these big corporations make. There is always an ulterior motive, and I believe you as well as many others share that opinion.

So, where will they put their resources next?

But then again, shouldn't we really be working with the hardware makers et al., and help them see the benefit of designing their hardware with Linux in mind. I think this is a much more worthy goal than to try to catch up with the competition, and allow them to influence the hardware makers and friends before we can. (Of course, I am also guilty of following every move the competition makes--something that I should change.)
