I work at a university a couple of miles from SCO's offices in Lindon, Utah. There hasn't been a peep about dropping Linux from any of our projects. In fact we're ordering new servers and installing Linux.
Classical music on this service seems to be lacking something. First, most of the music is several years old, if not 10 years old. Second, the cost of the album is perhaps only a dollar less than the same item at Amazon (albeit there's shipping and taxes). For a couple of bucks I can have the CD and do with it as I like without the restrictions placed on the downloads. There are also a number of albums which are more than $9.99.
The individual "songs" themselves are also odd. Look at the Beethoven 9th Symphony. They've broken the 4th movement (the choral "Ode to Joy") into multiple "tracks" asking $0.99 for each! Then there are instances where not all of the tracks of an album are available for download. If you'd like to listen to the 1st, 2nd, and 5th movements of some work, then download them individually. If you want the whole work, you've got to download the entire album.
This may work for popular music, but it leaves a lot to be desired for classical music.
