I think the tide has turned against SCO now, because of their disastrous slide presentation at the recent SCOForum. I think the media covering the IT industry is now aware of the unsubstantiated nature of their claims. If McBride's only possible reaction to ESR and Peren's analysis of the SCO's slide presentation is to claim IBM is "managing a conspiracy" against SCO, it is obvious to me, and I assume to others, that SCO is desparate. I am awaiting SCO's next move with glee. This is much better drama than anything on television. I mean, the geeks are successfully using science and logic to refute the claims of SCO in the public forum. I only wish the same methods could be used with such success in other publically controversial debates of the moment. SCO has now officially bit off more than it can chew. :) BTW: to get a good idea of what SCO supporters are thinking, check out the SCOX message boards: http://messages.yahoo.com/?action=q&board=SCOX John Hebert -----Original Message----- From: Nashid Hasan To: [email protected] Sent: 8/22/03 6:11 PM Subject: [brlug-general] Eric Raymond's Open Letter to SCO CEO If you have time read Eric Raymond's open letter to Darl McBride, CEO of SCO. http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/08/22/1746248.shtml?tid=19 It's really funny....... I personally think Darl McBride is mentally imbalaced. The more I read about SCO's caricature the more I am coming to this conclusion. I don't see anything but jail time for this guy in the future.
