Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO (eWeek) Posted Sep 20, 2003 0:53 UTC (Sat) by tjc (guest, #137) [Link] "and dramatically less expensive in purchase price."The entire article is full of unsubstantiated statements like that, eg. some of the stuff about IBM. It appears that Scott McNealy's megalomania is contagious. After reading the article I came away with the impression "this guy can't be trusted." I have no idea why someone would represnt their company in such a way.
Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO (eWeek) Posted Sep 20, 2003 0:55 UTC (Sat) by Zakaelri (guest, #15087) [Link] I believe he was referring to either RH or the SCO `licensing fee' when hesaid that... but I agree. It is quite absurd. "why do you have the world's largest patent litigation team inside IBM suing the bejesus out of the entire industry, holding them up for ransom on IP that you claim is yours that they have purloined." Unless there is something I missed in recent news, I think IBM is only *coutersuing* the `bejesus out of the' SCO Group... "Which one of them does IBM do? They don't own their own operating system that runs on the volume platform. So they will continue supporting other people's platforms." And why should IBM devote the resources to the creation of their own OS when there are others out there which are already written? Especially when one of the OS's doesn't cost IBM a cent? (Well, depending on how the SCO thing pans out, they may end up paying alot... but I hope that IBM just rams SCO a new hole.)

Especially when one of the OS's doesn't cost IBM a cent?" I remember when there was no IBM PC, and they ran out to the West Coast to find themselves a cheap OS, and then when there was a PC, the computer magazines devoted to existing machines withered away while PC Magazine and PC World required you to bring your own forklift to the magazine stand. I think if IBM got mad enough at SCO, they *would* create their own OS. Then, there would be the wailing and the gnashing of teeth everywhere else. I always figured they did it the way they did for fear of problems with anti-trust lawsuits. But in the current climate......who knows?

Many times. They probably have the distinction of creating more commercial-grade operating systems than anyone else on the planet.
IBM create there own OS Posted Sep 21, 2003 23:07 UTC (Sun) by petegn (guest, #847) [Link] They have as has been pointed out several times ok some of them not too brightie OS/2 but none the less they have actualy been an done it ..
