Copycat
Michael Dell is no longer content with copying Apple, now he wants to copy Michael Eisner and give up one of his roles as Chairman and CEO.

Well duh.
It has long been suspected that Microsoft was propping up SCO and their attack on linux, since linux is viewed as windows' greatest competitor right now. It hurts Microsoft if SCO goes under due to people calling bullshit on all their rediculus claims, so MS is doing a little bailing of them out.

Is this legal?
Is this monopolistic?.... I am not really sure, but this really smells fishy in terms of Microsoft abusing their power. Again, this email could not be true, but it will definitely light some fires.
Now I have this insatiable urge to install Yellow Dog for learning reasons on a extra drive on my G4 with Panther OS X. I may be a full OS X user, but hey... could be good to support the Linux community. h***, I even hear Mandrake is cool too.

Apple should buy out SCO
Apple should buy out SCO.
After M$ uses SCO to do thier dirty work while telling the public thier hands are clean, M$ will use SCO to attack Apple's Free BSD core after they destroy linux.

One of two things, SCO is getting big buck into individual pockets(before M$ crushes them) or they are just so stupid.
