SCO Says IBM Hurt Profits

Posted by kdawson on Sunday March 11, 2007 @08:20AM from the and-a-bandaid-for-your-knee dept.

AlanS2002 sends in a link from a local Utah newspaper covering the SCO-IBM trial. The Deseret News chose to emphasize SCO's claim that IBM hurt SCO's relationship with several high-tech powerhouses, causing SCO's market share and revenues to plummet. "[A]n attorney for Lindon-based SCO said IBM 'pressured' companies to cut off their relationships with SCO. And 'the effect on SCO was devastating and it was immediate'..." As usual Groklaw has chapter and verse on all the arguments in the motions for summary judgement.

I'm sure the impact on their business had nothing to do with them frothing at the mouth and raving like a pack of lunatics since 2003 while threatening to sue their own customers over using Linux.

Nope, not a bit.

It, like Groklaw, must all be part of a Scientology-level conspiracy by IBM to discredit them and make them look bad.

*sigh*
