It means that SCO^H^H^HMicroosoft won't sue anybody until their only market share is found in the East Texas Federal District Court. At that point, they will file lawsuits against all and sundry, since they won't lose anything thereby; > How do developers and businesses deal with this uncertainty ? Microsoft dealt with it, by setting up patent troll companies, who will file lawsuits in its stead. These companies will emulate the example of SCO, who has clearly demonstrated the best way to win billions and billions of dollars through successful litigation. Oh, you mean other companies? They will do what Novell, Red Hat, AutoZone, Daimler etc did when SCO came a walking. 96 days 14 hours 45 minutes and 6 seconds left for SCO. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
