    Buy out SCO. Hostile takeover. Somebody. I guess they're waiting for the price to fall a bit, but jeeze.....

    I am curious to see what Novell is going to come up with next to challenge those bozos.

      Buy out SCO.

      as much as I would like to see SCO go away, it pains me to think that the SCO crooks can walk away from this with pockets full.

      also, buying SCO to 'go away' sets a bad precedent and I would really rather not see this kind of business plan to be considered successful one.
