SCO Prides Itself on Inspiring FUD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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..."

    That in the first 3 sentences it states the "SCO the owner of UNIX" but the most interesting fact is at the bottom of the artice -- "Source: The SCO Group"

    Seems to me that SD Times putting SCO on the list of top 100 influential companies is a little analogous to Time Magazine naming Hitler as "Man of the Year" in 1938. Like Darl, I'm sure Hitler though it was an honor as well.

    Woohoo! I got to slam SCO, Darl, and invoke Godwin in one post! Ahh, I'm done.
