Caldera vs. Microsoft Court Documents To Be Shredded

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the conspiracy-theory-much dept.

Geste writes "As now being reported in this brief story and on my local (Seattle) NPR affiliate, 3 million court documents from Caldera's unfair competition suit against Microsoft are to be shredded in Utah. The timing relative to Microsoft's recent licensing of SCO Unix IP is undoubtedly a complete coincidence. "

    it should make for a more comfortable wiping experience than the Windows 95 cd I currently use. Not as satisfying though.

    Why? Do you really want that stuff up your ass? Don't MS products already cause enough pain in that region as it is?
