    From Analysing of the NY Times article: a letter in which Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman, the chief executive of Intel at the time, that any support given to the Go Corporation,would be considered an aggressive move against Microsoft.
    If this is not anti-competitive, then what is?

    Microsoft violated a signed secrecy agreement with Go and showed that Microsoft possessed technical documents from Go that it should not have had access to.
    Industrial Espionage.

    Microsoft violated nondisclosure agreements with Go, and then used that information to build PenWindows, a competitor to Go's PenPoint operating system.
    GO has loyalty rights for PenWindows. GO should sue PenWindows licensee's individually. This is what Microsoft is trying to do to Linux users through SCO. GO has more legal grounds to stand on that SCO.

    Shortly after the letter was written, Intel reduced its planned investment in Go from $10 million to $2 million
    Intel was held to ransom, and they paid it.

    The advice read in part that the focus should be shifted from "killing the competitor" to "providing a better solution to the customer's problems."
    So they did believe in Killing Competition. A tiger never changes its stripes.

    I think some of these allegations could ammount to criminal offences. I do hope Mr. Gates does a time in a cell with No Windows

They know they have very little room to stand on legal-wise in the US, so it is pretty damn obvious they will try some other market, where things might just turn out more to their favour.

  32. It's quite obvious why they are doing this by amigoro · · Score: 5, Insightful · on SCO Seeks Licenses Down Under
    Well apart from the much publicized link with Microsoft SCO is a dying company who have very little to lose. Their profits are heading south and they are about to go down under (Pun Intended). They have obtained pariah status sooner than you can say "litigious bastards". They know they have very little room to stand on legal-wise in the US, so it is pretty damn obvious they will try some other market, where things might just turn out more to their favour.

    Justly or unjustly, rightly or wrongly, they have already paid a heavy price for their underhand techniques, in the form of the mydoom worm. This clearly shows how much anger and resentment the society has against this vulture of an organisation.

    Under these circumstances, it is highly unlikely that their legal action will work anywhere in the world. Even if MS pumps more money into SCO to damage Linux, it will not save SCO.

    SCO can't kill Linux. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.

  35. Alternative Roots by amigoro · · Score: 5, Informative · on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use?
    A very interesting article on alternative roots.

    Extracts:

    A new top-level domain doesn't really exist on the Internet until it is added to the root servers, so that any system anywhere on the net that is seeking that domain can find out from the root where the specific DNS servers for that domain lie.....

    the operators of the root servers have a great deal of political power over the domain name system. Presently, these servers are operated by Verisign, but their policies are determined by ICANN, the organization set up to administer Internet naming and numbering schemes. Since ICANN has attracted a great deal of criticism (much of it highly deserved) for its biases towards large impersonal bureaucracies and against individual Internet users, various people have come up with the idea of "fighting back" against ICANN by setting up alternate roots.....

    Setting up an alternate root turns out to be a very simple matter. The Internet has always been sort of a "do-it-yourself" thing, not centrally controlled or administered like a proprietary online service.....

    a naming or addressing system only makes sense if everybody uses it consistently. If every telephone company had a different idea of how the country and area codes ought to be allocated, so that if your long distance service was with AT&T, "1-212" would reach New York City, but with Sprint the same prefix would reach Los Angeles, then telephone numbers would be in a state of chaos....
