No need to start a war, Stephen. The war is on. By accusing IBM and the whole Open Source Community of stealing, SCO (read : M$) insulted every decent *netizen* in the world, including me. As you may have noticed, I never participated in the general Microsoft-bashing. The reason : I never used windows. My only experience with it stems from my kids, who bought PC's with the thingy preinstalled. I helped them wipe the dirt and get their PCs operational. (Afterwards they used the Windows-CD's for rifle-practice). At my work, the so-called *IT-department* knows next to nothing about IT, so they insist that I shall have something called *Windows 2000 Professional* on my office-PC. I tried to use it for a few days, but I don't think the taxpayers pay me for sitting on my ass rebooting PC's, staring on pop-up adds and blue screens of death (I happen to be a surgeon). Accordingly, I threw a Knoppix-CD into the cupholder, did some configuring and never touched the harddisk thereafter. But that is history. From now on you can count me in the army. I'll use everything at my disposal to miscredit, sabotage and boycott Microsoft. I have great admiration for the United States of America, but it is beyond me how this great nation can tolerate that gang of crooks ? And - if Microsoft wants to augment the virus-pressure, should we feel pity for those poor windows-users ? - I think no : by purchasing from criminals they asked for it. May the source be with us.
