IBM Puts Pressure On SCO

inode_buddha writes "An article at Groklaw shows IBM's legal team dissecting the whole SCO thing professionally and thoroughly. I'm almost willing to bet the case gets dropped with extreme prejudice, especially now that Novell is getting involved. Is anyone taking bets as to when the case actually closes and how?" I suggest the MIT Technology Review add this one to their markets.

    Anything that doesnt compleatly shoots down SCO should be considered chocking since its obvious that SCO is playing histakes pokers and is bluffing for all it can.

    SCO: Mo money, Mo money IBM: No money, No money (SCO execs quietly sell off shares and fill Swiss bank accounts with loot.)

    This means SCO has to put up or shut up.

    Score one for the good guys.

    Looks like IBM has the judge in their corner.

    I have never ever seen such double-speak as SCO practices. Donning a tinfoil hat, do you think Boies is being helped Pro Bono by the wild accusation division of the legal department at Microsoft?
