They Make Stuff? SCO's OpenServer 6 Reviewed

For as long as I can remember, American businesses have been successful for two reasons: Mindless intellectual-property grabs and stupid lawsuits. (Some may argue that screwing workers out of their benefit plans is also a major business model, but I consider that something more like a "value add" proposition).
Now, some of the leading edge buinesses such as SCO are trying a whole new type business-- making and selling software.
I don't see how companies think they can make money this way. I mean, don't they realize the time and effort involved with such an endeavor? I mean, don't they need programmers and compiler and stuff? Then they need to house the employees in an office, provide computers and desks... can you imagine the expense?
