Should a potential malpractice claim against its lawyers also be counted an asset of the company.

I am of the opinion that SCO should try to develop a Linux distribution based on the micro kernel architecture of Minux3. They should focus on the real time market and dedicated devices with high reliability (Minix can reload drivers without a reboot of the system).

Yeah—there never was. His last post, though, was in 2014.

You and I are aware of that, but the general FR audience is not aware of the difference. So I tried to use a more common reference.

Given the recent news about Ubuntu appearing with Windows 10, I think it’s unlikely that Microsoft is behind this recent resuscitation of the SCO zombie. Though I suppose Steve Ballmer might be privately finagling behind the scenes...

I was thinking just the opposite. Given the recent Windows10/Ubuntu news, that might mean the SCO can extract not only big money from IBM but royalties from Microsoft as well.
I could be wrong and often am, but this makes me go hmmmm.....

I had a greasemonkey script back in the heyday of GoldenEagle that would block all his posts on FR for me. Have considered digging it up again for all the Cruzbots/Trumpeters posters, just so I can get back to reading FR again. ;^)

Back in 1995, I worked for a company installing SCO Unix and Xenix on computers, installing multiport boards, and lots of Wyse dumb terminals.
Typically, my boss, co-owner of the company, would have me install the same “license” on multiple clients, saving him lots of money, but also having me break a few laws. I was a newb at the whole thing, and did it. I only worked there a short time (a year? 18 months tops).
No one even remembers Xenix.
God I’m old.

I am of the opinion that SCO should try to develop Is SCO still an operating company? I had the impression that it was only a litigation management outfit at this point, with any recoveries largely for the attorneys.

Oh, I remember Xenix. And Altos computers. Xenix running on an 8086.

Not even remotely. It's a couple of lawyers hoping to scrape the last few nickels still stuck to the bottom of a dried-out cesspool.

But then there’d be nothing left to read :)
