After all these revelations, exactly what is Microsoft expecting to get for their recent $10-million purchase?

That's what I'd really love to find out. Because if it turns out that Microsoft simply poured fuel into the FUD fire by arranging a bogus "IP transfer", I wonder if they can't find themselves sued for anti-competetive behaviour ;-)

Gosh, this whole thing is more hilarious with every single day that passes!

NO, NO, NO,... for one thing that everybody can agree Bill M$ is not a foul!...

THEY ONLY PAYED """AFTER""" THEY GOT THE GOODS!!!...

you cannot find a lawsuit filling more full of anger, prejudice, and false subjective claims, against Linux, than the one SCO vs IBM, as you can see here http://www.sco.com/scosource/complaint3.06.03.html
and if you joint the press releases, the obnoxious letter to Linux customers and the treath to sue Linus, then i think that 10 millions was very cheap!!!... they could have asked for 20 that M$ would have payed because they couldnt achieved the same results by legal publicity!!!...

it starts to be clear that all this *deal* was long and carefully crafted and that it was a real bargain to M$.
