Couldn'ta happened to nicer people.Couldn'ta happened to nicer people.Posted Sep 12, 2003 16:49 UTC (Fri) by wweber (guest, #11678)In reply to: Couldn'ta happened to nicer people. by jmitchel Parent article: SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld) It really couldn't have happened to more deserving companies. SCO products suck. They have always sucked. They would not have ceased to suck without free software. As far as I know, SCO's competitors in the unix on x86 space suck, they always sucked, they would not have ceased to suck without free software. Your word choice is "lacking even in verbal vigor, save in the ears of those to whom only the squalid sounds strong". Rebuttals of this kind are not helping dispel the impression of open-source software users and developers that Rob Enderle's articles gave months ago. In any way could you replace the raw scorn with some information?

Couldn'ta happened to nicer people. Posted Sep 12, 2003 17:31 UTC (Fri) by gsc (guest, #6830) [Link] You may not have appreciated the delivery, but the message is 100% spot on target. I for one, appreciate straight talk that communicates effectively and economically. I find no fault w/the original comment in any way. It must be difficult to be so delicate in such a vulgar time.
Couldn'ta happened to nicer people. Posted Sep 12, 2003 19:39 UTC (Fri) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216) [Link] Absolutely. The comment was in fact right on target, but the quote from Tolkien brought up a most appropriate image in my mind: Darl McB as Grishnakh. :-) Now that works nicely.

Anyway, I would still find some description of the inferiority of the SCO products of interest, occasionally.
