In an effort to cut costs on phone bills, software giant Microsoft has switched to Voice over IP running on Windows 2003 Servers. The switch occured 3 weeks ago.

Huh, finally a business plan that works.
If SCO really wants to prove that the Linux kernel copied their code, why don't they release it?
It's not like their going to be releasing private code, since it is already in the linux kernel...
Hell, I could go around saying that the kernel has copied all of my work, but I would never have to prove it either...
I'm going to file a lawsuit tomorow
This topic should have been brought up about 2 days later. None of the people affected by this have any power to run their computer...
