SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)Posted Sep 12, 2003 16:28 UTC (Fri) by cpm (guest, #3554)Parent article: SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)
My favorite part is the sidebar to the right, about "Top Stories" SCO CEO fires off letter to open-source community Forrester: Linux development can be more costly than using Microsoft software and that's it! That pretty much sums up where ComputerWorld is comming from. Now, they have Linus's rebuttal to SCO, but that isn't "Linux News" If it isn't linux bashing, it isn't news.

Do what I did. Write the ComputerWorld editor and the article's author a <i><b>polite</b></i> email asking why their coverage appears so biased and unbalanced.
SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) Posted Sep 12, 2003 17:05 UTC (Fri) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222) [Link] Yes...that's exactly what I did also (see other posts from me.)Computerworld is a responsible and respectable publication, so politeness is the best approach. We can let it slip a bit here, because most people who come here are pretty much "in the scene,) or bit-players like myself, but considering the kind, respectful response I got from them, I can't help but emphasize politeness. Darn...I wish I didn't have so many bills--I'd drop $60 on the LWN site just to be grateful.
SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) Posted Sep 12, 2003 17:11 UTC (Fri) by jhardin@impsec.org (guest, #15045) [Link] oops. premature clickage. why can't we edit posted comments? anyway...Now, they have Linus's rebuttal to SCO, but that isn't "Linux News" and they have the Raymond/Perens letter, but that isn't "Linux News" and of course there are lots of more recent dissections of the Forrester report, but that isn't Linux News either.So? Do what I did. Write the ComputerWorld editor and the article's author a polite email asking why their coverage appears so biased and unbalanced. Ask when they are going to publish an interview with ESR and BP.
SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) Posted Sep 13, 2003 4:00 UTC (Sat) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Geee!... i just lost count on how many of those i did, specialy outside of the IT dedicated press...Linux/OSS got so big without any help from the press, i guess it can get much bigger the same way!
SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) Posted Sep 12, 2003 18:55 UTC (Fri) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222) [Link] Remember. SCO is an American corporation that's got problems working with the people they originally chose to work woth. Americans like to root for underdogs. The SCO management is doing its best to make themselves look like they've been victimized (they're the underdogs.)In fact, I believe they are *paying* to be the underdogs.
