I've since become not only an avid Linux advocate (despite still learning about it) but also completely addicted to the ever-more twisty, turny 'evidence' SCO try and wheel out, and their almost twice-daily press release schedule.

What I see is a company that stood still, let everybody overtake them, get upset and start throwing a tantrum. And it _is_ a tantrum, their 'facts' and 'defence' of what they're doing is akin to that of the four-year olds I see in supermarkets. The fact that column-inches adds to the stock value is a happy 'coincidence' to the directors, as far as I can tell.

It's all surreal - it borders on the far-fetched. And I agree, in 5 years time there'll be a gripping mini-series about it. What remains of SCO will claim IBM are behind it as well.
