Re: [plug] John C. Dvorak on SCO

[Joel Realubit]

uh, wait... i'm not sure i agree with Mr. Dvorak's conclusions in his 
scenarios ("linux dies"... "corporations flock to microsoft", as if 
there arent already a lot of microsoft-centric corporations )... 
assuming SCO does win somehow, won't the whole GPL/Open Source nature of 
linux allow people to simply cut out whatever parts of linux that SCO 
claims is theirs and just put in brand new code that does the same 
thing, and even do it in a better way than before?  of course, (again 
assuming SCO wins) IBM's wallet will probably hurt after this, but 
still... i dont think "linux dies" will necessarily follow...

He does make several very good points. Disturbing.



maybe we should start migrating to other OS?
naah, only if he thinks like the "Oracle" & he's not the "One".
i remember his article when i was still in high school (IIRC)
that CDROM wouldn't go any faster than 6x.
let us ask St. IGNUcius for a miracle.
