Anyone who's been in a deposition, or read a deposition, knows what these will be like. And in the case of SCO vs IBM, there is going to be a lot of trouble with relevance to the breach of contract matters.
The only way these people can say anything the judge has any business listening to is in IBM vs SCO, because they have nothing to do with the contract. It seems to me, anyway.
There's more. No-one ever said "Linux is killing Caldera": we must remember who we mean when we say "SCO". We are talking about a company established as a Linux distributor, which bought some as-yet-undetermined, and considerably diluted, rights from Novell in 2001, and continued to offer commercial products derived from Linux under the GPL until this year.
If this is lost on the IBM IP attorneys, I'm ready for my scholarship.
I have to say that Christopher Jones' FUD defence is undermined by the products he's defending, because they contain - up to and including XP - progman.exe, which is still available as an alternative UI to Explorer.
progman.exe, aka Program Manager, has no Start button.
As a consumer, I am now confused - by Mr. Jones' testimony.

This is a great question. I'm for this: Nay, as soon as we can.
