A judge with a "tech brain" ... is there really such a creature? Sounds nasty ...

In the USA legal system, judges can't initiate anything! It requires a lawsuit / prosecution to start the process. On reading the article, I can't see anything on this issue that Microsoft has done that is legally wrong.

Remember XENIX ... it was the first UNIX implemented on the IBM PC. It was released by Microsoft in about 1984.

Perhaps they are returning to their roots! <g>

The older I get, the more I appreciate history!!!

This sounds like a CPF0000 posting ... see you there!

EXACTLY - FUD ! And bucks. I'm no big fan of litigation, but a judge with a
"tech brain" really needs to take a look at this and say "HANG ON A

It's a way for Microsoft to support SCO for its legal attack against IBM and
linux.  Microsoft gets to put doubt (fear of litigation) into the minds of
CIOs (or any other O's for that matter) that makes linux more difficult to
bring into the data center.

For those of us running Linux on Intel boxes or the AS/400-iSeries, this is
going to be interesting.
