BIG difference...Communism was forced (for the most part anyway), OSS is 100% choice.
OSS has no KGB going around and arresting anyone running Windows. ("No, no, it's not Windows, it's a new KDE scheme, I swear!!"
"McBride added that lawsuits likely will be preceded and possibly prevented by communications offering businesses an opportunity to get right with SCO."
I guess that they've retained Tony Soprano to do the negotiations. IANAL, but if this isn't extortion, I don't know what is...
Also good to know...
The head of the Diebold is a staunch supporter of George Bush and has said he will do anything he can to get Bush re-elected. How can we trust any voting software that Diebold has anything to do with?
"I view this as an attempt to bully and intimidate analysts--to try to cow them into silence," says Christopher Sontag, executive vice president at SCO, in Lindon, Utah.

(I believe they've changed this with the next service pack for 2003. Better late than never!)
When I was a PC technician, we had a customer bring his PC and monitor in. He said that that he had the wrong kind of monitor because it would not work with his PC. It turns out he had spent ****4 friggin' hours**** trying to plug the video cable into a serial port...
I consider it one of the high points of my life that I managed to have enought professionalism to wait to laugh until after he left.

What, is this guy some kind of Communist or something? Lawsuits and lobbying are right up there with baseball and apple pie...
I guess it wouldn't have been practical to dip the whole station in a tub of water.

Beavis: heh heh, he said umlaut, heh heh
if some script kiddie hacks into the voting machines...President Jenna Jameson!!

All those people who forward those damn chain letters would go bankrupt and have to sell their PC's...hmmmm, might not be a bad idea after all!
