I knew SCO and Micro$oft were in it together!

First, this article on AustalianIT added to the suspicions of the Open Source community regarding MicroSoft’s involvement in the campaign against Linux. I’d, personally, had always wondered if Chairman Gates hadn’t been encouraging SCO to pursue this very unwise course of legal action against Linux users. Well, guess what? Just yesterday, AustralianIT confirmed that there is, in fact, a link between SCO and Micro$oft!
Is it really paranoia when they are all out to get you? Micro$oft has been trying to kill Linux since it became a “blip” on the media radar, so it stands to reason that they’d help SCO down the path they took. Free enterprise, indeed. But, you know, I didn’t see any of this in the American press. Hmm, I wonder why that is?
