Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO
badzilla and numerous others wrote in with this: "Eric S. Raymond's Open Source site has a new Halloween memo. The Halloween X memo, which ESR says he received by email from an anonymous whistleblower inside SCO, appears to confirm Microsoft's alleged funding of SCO's anti-Linux initiative. And the actual dollar amounts are much larger than previously rumored!" The consultant is discussing his fee for bringing in this business, in the first few lines of the email.
Most. Obvious. Microsoft. Shill. Ever.
Is this truly the only Earth I can live on?
I haven't used a Microsoft product since the mid-90's. I will never use their products again.
End of story, Microsoft.

If you are so morally outraged by the right of women to keep control of their own bodies and reproduction...why did you post this anonymously?
CRAZY ASS COMPANY... that is all that can be said about Microsoft.
Hey thanks for backing me up. I wanted to provide some more evidence myself, but I just didn't have time earlier.
Now I've gotten modded down because I expressed an opinion that didn't seem to settle well with the "SCO/MS are evil and don't you question that!" groupthink crowd here.
Mods and others, how do you feel now that you have been proven wrong?
Ahh more Microsoft FUD. Typical from slashdots users. Anyword whether true or totally false gets posted here and teh comments begin. This shouldn't even be posted if its not verified. I really got to Wonder my MS supports Slashdots through adds. When all anyone here does is take potshots at Microsoft.
I will say some thigns Microsoft does I do nto agree with. However I have a bigger problem with Companies like IBM. three times the power of Microsfot has way more capital. They will do anythign for money. Search for IBM and Nazi Germany on Google and see what I mean. These are the good guys remember.
I think to the poster of this article I have to say you have a responsibility to not post crap like this unless it is validated. If it is validated then let the pot shots begin. Until then however this is a Null point. In fact it means nothing and appears to me to be Fraudulent.
Microsoft is an American company. So lets take the American Judicial example here and "Innocent until Proven Guilty". Or Maybe we shoudl get Microsoft to Sue Slashdot for Libel. That would be amusing.
