MS's Best is takign 40 billion and giving free upgrades to all windows user not using winXP and Longhorn even hardware upgrade rebates when necessary..
The most effective engineers that have the finanical incentive to walk if they are not heard by management.
If as a software developer you do not have enough financial resources to walk..then you shoul dnot take that project....based on Previous hard earned exp in the startup flameouts..
We all heard the story here before fo a certain talk/chat servie cut off from ISP service becuase they were DDoS attacked repeatedly..
Given that this is a startup iSP..SCO Group woudl have been kicked off their network already for the maount of DDoS attacks..they will probably have given back the amount paid but voided the contract..most ISP contracts have an out for this set of circumstances..
Are we talking specifically about the way MSIE loads objects into hyperpages or Netscapes's way?
IE for example is it the object tag?
Given the period of 1994 when patent was applied for and not granted until 1998..w3c might be able ot talk elos into only collecting license fees that are limited or ask that the patent be donated to w3c..
and does MS's and Netscape's and SpyGlass's work from 1994-1998 become then prior art as patent was nto finalize duntil 1998?
The proper term for promising Legal action and not doing it is Barratry..

Whereas ERS promising that if certain action is not stopped that SCO and McBride wil face legal consequences is a perfect legal statement to make in that it does not open OSI or ESR to any other liabilities..
as it stands Now any Linux User not charged by SCO Group has the right to ask the court to convict SCO group on Barratry charges..
okay before you flame me lets go back to unix history and 1980s
In the 1980s the knowledge of writing secure multi-user, mulit-taskign OSes were locked away in Unix commerical versions not for public examination by those studying Computer Science..
Guess where a large portion ofthose coders ended up at? MS Redmond headquarters..
While past 1990s MS does hold the blame for not being proactive on security ie redoing the kernel....its not that plain blakc and white..
However, I do agree with WashingtonPost's suggestion MS should send a free copy of Longhorn to every registered Windows user worldwide as an effort towards security..
But in closing this set of issue also indicate why opensource OSes will always be more secure because the skills and knowledge is shared with all coding professionals!

Had to ask since SCO can not seem to patch OpenServer
