IBM Subpoenas Several Companies in SCO Case
bl8n8r writes "IBM subpoenas are flying. Morgan Keegan, EV1, Oracle, Royce, CAI, Center7, Novell, Canopy, S2, are all asked to reveal details on all documents concerning any communications with or any meetings involving Microsoft regarding Unix, Linux, SCO and/or Canopy." Groklaw notes that even more subpoenas are likely on the way.
It's fun to watch them blow their horn...on SCO :)
It has to be said... I've been here on /. for a few years now and my karma's not bad. But when it comes to legal issues Groklaw has out-slashdotted /.
I simply don't read articles here anymore that are covered better on Groklaw, such as SCO legal wranglings. Mod me as you wish but it's just a fact --- I'm off to Groklaw now to read up on the IBM subpoenas.
I work for a company of 87 employees as a desktop technician. For awhile we were solely an IBM shop until I showed management our failing hardware records with IBM (59 of our 62 workstations had hardware failures, and we would receive refurbed parts as replacements). A few months ago we started doing business with Dell. Since then we have replaced many of our IBM stations with DELL. To date we have 43 Dell workstations/laptops and our record for failing Dell hardware is: Workstaiton -- Failed right of the box Monitor -- suddenly went blurry. Hard Drive Failure - It was a Maxtor.... didn't see that happening! Over all I like IBM - our servers work great, and the support has been incredible -- on par with Sun support, but IBM desktops SUCK!
