SCO News Roundup for 26 September 2006
I decided I'd start a new blog devoted solely to the latest SCO Group excitement, since the message board situation remains in flux. I'm resolutely agnostic on the InvestorVillage vs. Yahoo thing, and I'm not, not, not going to take sides in the occasional GrokWars.
I figured this was a great time to start this, since yesterday was the PSJ deadline in the SCO vs. IBM case, and there's all sorts of excitement going on right now. The anti-SCO community isn't even close to digesting all of the filings yet. I've barely read any myself yet. So we live in interesting times, I guess that's what I'm trying to say here.
So without further ado, here's today's SCO News Roundup:

So without further ado, here's today's SCO News Roundup:
- We begin with the media coverage of yesterday's PSJ storm. Bob Mims at the Salt Lake Tribune has been covering the SCO saga for a long time now, and here's his take on 9/25, with quotes from PJ, Enderle, and Blake.
- InformationWeek covers the action (briefly) here, merely quoting an unnamed SCO spokesman.
- An analysis of the latest activity at Ars Technica.
- Internetnews.com suggests the case may never make it to trial, because everything will be decided by the duelling PSJ motions. I doubt that. I've learned over the last few years to always bet on whatever will drag the case out the longest.
- GL has all the latest motions here.
- If you're curious about what the world's 15-year-olds think about yesterday's excitement, the Slashdot story is here.
- Also a short blurb at Technocrat.net.
- But not all is bleak in the SCO universe. Here's the rarest of things, a new product announced for OpenServer. So now, when your primitive, obsolete OS panics, at least maybe you won't lose all your data. I'm sure that must be really comforting. The PR mostly talks about the equivalent product for Solaris, and mentions SCO as an afterthought. But that shouldn't be surprising, anymore.
- In the few scant moments when he isn't 100% focused on SCO's jihad, David Boies has managed to eke out a minor procedural victory for that AIG guy.
- Yesterday's Oregonian profiled a guy who grew up (sorta) Jewish, converted to Islam, got in bed with the evildoers, then became a Christian fundie neocon, and is now flogging a book about his thrilling life experiences. Unsurprisingly, this wingnut is a Boies, Schiller, & Flexner employee.

I'm glad to see your news roundup on a "message board independent platform." It's always been one of the messages worth reading when other posters have been consumed in flame wars.
