This CNET article hints that Microsoft bought them at SCO's request. From the article:
A Microsoft representative said that the deal was simply in response to SCO's request. "Microsoft respects legitimate licenses, and Microsoft took that license (from SCO). That's it," the representative said.
I have a friend who works at Microsoft and about two months back, he invited me to discuss about "Linux people and IP infringement". Although the discussion didn't actually work out, after seeing this SCO vs. IBM lawsuit, I can imagine what he was planning to talk about.
Whether MS is directly supporting SCO on this or not, we can be sure that that Microsoft has its eyes laid on writing off Linux as an "Intellectual Property Issue". Look at the statements made by the MS executive in the story on XBox we discussed two days back:
Q. Folks have even built a Linux-Xbox computer. How can you control this?
A. Electronic hobbyists will do what they want to do...the numbers are not really that big. It's not a commercial as much as it is an intellectual property issue and we always pursue those. If someone finds a way to cheat, we close it down and do an update so people can't anymore.
Towards the beginning of the browser wars, Bill Gates wanted Microsoft to be synonymous with "Internet" and I feel what Bill wants now is to make Linux synonymous with "IP issues". Not sure how well the FUD strategy works, but we have a few problems ahead. What if this SCO thing is just a beginning ? With 2 or 3 more of these suits, MS can possibly keep Linux out of expanding. What can we do if some company X complains about IP infringement in Linux in the future ?
1. Make news about some shitty product.
2. Wait for all competitors to start similar projects.
3. Call the project a hoax.
4. Watch competitors go bankrupt.

Fujitsu hs a strong presence in Asia, a place Microsoft has been trying to cultivate.
From the Article:
it does have a strong position in Asia, where Red Hat is trying to expand.
I know this is Slashdot, but modification of the article line to mention Microsoft(incorrectly) in the story just for attracting readers is not doing a great deal to improve anything. I like to bash Microsoft with jokes once in a while, but notes like this one are to be criticized, IMHO.
The remote user (attacker@attacker.com) will then receive an e-mail from the.NET Passport server providing a URL where the remote user can change the password. The form does not require the remote user to enter the previous password.

So I don't feel the need to spread the Linux gospel to non-geeks at all
Good for you. But if you want the major commercial software companies like Adobe, MS(?) to come down and write competitive applications, Linux has to have a wide market acceptance. I think *that* is a sufficient incentive to feel the need to spread Linux to non-geeks.
...you can't blame IE for obeying the user's input. Just take a look at the source:

you are basically asking it to crash at input and it obeys like a puppy. What's wrong with that ? Just becos Mozilla doesn't have this crash at input feature doesn't mean...
That spare capacity remains available for others to exploit, and the rebels use it to download kung-fu expertise into Neo's brain and to implant helicopter piloting skills into Trinity's. If the Matrix ever learned this technique, it could create havoc for the rebels, implanting impulses to serve its own ends.
Actually, I was working on this feature for Matrix 4.0. They scrapped the project when the bros decided to make it a trilogy. Now, I am unemplyed:'(

That's what I call a boring life. Compare this to the action packed life of a Windows(tm) Admin. I can imagine the next Microsoft tagline:
Windows: Bringing Unlimited Action to bored System Admins, since 1981.
Along with their free condoms, give 'em free Linux CDs.
Dude... you gotta follow the rules. It's ( condoms XOR Linux ).
I am seriously considering moving my smaller clients to Mac of Linux pretty soon
Hmm... sounds interesting, got a torrent ?
Nice idea. Better yet, let them go back home, enjoy a long vacation and come back in 2004 when the worm expires...
:)
No, I am not one of 'em
All this is a clever trick. FBI is waiting at the border looking for script kiddies fleeing to Canada in panic.

Spamhaus Responds To Spammer's Lawsuit
Did they send a mass mail to members of e-marketeers to inform them of the response ? Oh no, that would be like spamming them.
How about Clippy and Bob ? Unique to Microsoft ? Yes, of course. Replacements ? No way!

Here is another CNet article on what SCO Group Chief Executive Darl McBride thinks on this issue. From the article,
"We're finding...cases where there is line-by-line code in the Linux kernel that is matching up to our UnixWare code," McBride said in an interview
Interesting... eh?
1. Tech-savvy people will install this.
2. Tech-savvy people tend to be loners.
3. Loners most often search for porn.
C1. Tech-savvy people search for porn.
4. Items searched for most often reach the top of the list.
5. Porn is searched for often by tech-savvy people.
C2. Porn will be easier to find with this new search engine.
