perfidy

There may be some proof that Microsoft is behind SCO's recent raising of capital. SCO has been trying to suppress Linux usage through a series of highly doubtful IP lawsuits. But...a while back they were suddenly funded to the tune of $50 million. There is nothing that this company can conceivably do that merits that money, so many of us have been wondering about the thinking.

"I realize the last negotiations are not as much fun, but Microsoft will have brough in $86 million for us including Baystar. The next deal we should be able to get from $16-20, but it will be brutial as it is for
go to makerket work and some licences. I know we can do this , if everyone stays on board and still wants to do a deal. I just want to get this deal and move away from corp dev and out into the marketing andfield dollars....In this market we can get $3-5 million in incremental deals and not have to go through the gauntlet which will get tougher next week with the SR VP's."

If this memo is true, it all makes sense. The $50 million was nothing to Microsoft, who wants Linux damaged. The investors who supplied it are...not interested in their investment...

Is this anti-trust? Will this White House investigate Microsoft?
