    Stone: We are going to continue to push it. .Net on Linux is a great idea. We just hope Microsoft isn't against the idea.

    There's your problem. As anyone on /. knows, you should never *actually read* the articles. Next time, be sure to post before reading the articles or you will confuse all the veterans.

    As located here, RedHat calls SCO's practices "likely to cause confusion, mistake or to deceive". Is that legalese for "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt"?

    Just a thought,
