Judge Calls SCO On Lack of Evidence

Rob writes to mention a CBR article on Judge Wells' assessment that SCO just hasn't made its case against IBM in the well-known and long-lasting legal battle. The magistrate called the lack of evidence inexcusable. She further likened their claims to a shoplifter being handed a catalog for a store after being stopped, and being told 'what you took is in there somewhere, figure it out.' From the article: "In the view of the court it is almost like SCO sought to hide its case until the ninth inning in hopes of gaining an unfair advantage despite being repeatedly told to put 'all the evidence... on the table' ... given SCO's own public statements... it would appear that SCO had more than enough evidence to comply with the court's orders." Groklaw has coverage of the decision, and the complete text from the judge. Update: 06/30 15:14 GMT by Z : This story bears more than a passing resemblance to this one from Wednesday. Sorry about that.

    Whats wrong with Microsoft? I mean, honestly. The irritation isn't coming from Micrsoft, but the constant baseless accusations against them, and the onslaught of negative feedback against them for everything they do.

    I am tired of the constant complaints against Microsoft, to a point where I don't read anything involvoing Microsoft in the title, at least on Slashdot. The fact I am reading an article about a completely different company and someone throws Microsoft's name into it just suggests that there is a culture of unfounded hatred to a company that had done nothing worse the live the American Dream to its ultimate conclusion, world wide domination!
