What SCO Wants, SCO Gets
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/0518218

Anonymous Reader writes "...like many religious folk, the Linux-loving crunchies in the open-source movement are a) convinced of their own righteousness, and b) sure the whole world, including judges, will agree. They should wake up. SCO may not be very good at making a profit by selling software. (Last year the company lost $24.9 million on sales of $64.2 million.)

Do you need more help?

Love it or hate it, this week has been all about Microsoft killing MSIE for the Mac. Some love it, some hate it, but all view the MSIE decision as historic. The question is, what does it mean for the Mac's future: a portent of Microsoft abandoning the platform? The loss of a great browser? Good riddance to an outdated browser?
