SCO Prides Itself on Inspiring FUD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday May 18, 2004 @02:36AM from the almost-too-funny-to-laugh-at dept.

ronaldb64 writes "According to a recent press release they are "...honored to be named among the many influential companies that comprise the SD Times 100. We pride ourselves in the work we do to create world renowned Unix-based solutions designed by some of the most experienced and outstanding engineers in the industry," said Jeff Hunsaker, senior vice president and general manager, SCO's UNIX Division. What is the reason for the SD Times nomination? "The company's legal assaults on IBM and Linux users dominated 2003's tech headlines and shook up the open-source community. No other IT topic inspires such fervent debate, fear, uncertainty and doubt.". I guess any press is good press these days for SCO. Congratulations..."

Reminds me of SCO's spin on a VARBusiness article back in October. Here's SCO's version. Now check out the original article. SCO did indeed rate in the top four. Out of five.

Yeah, they are using an odd HTML trick to try and create a vertical horizontal-rule (See the problem with this?)
Firefox seems to (quite rightly!) think they are insane.
(It's a <HR> tag with size set to 240 and width set to 2, inside some tables with (col|row)spans. I'm suprised that trick works anywhere)
