Since this is Microsoft-related, why did you mark this "OT"?

On the other hand, your post about IBM's AIX licence being "cancelled"
by SCO might easily be judged "off-topic."  SCO's suit against IBM is
just a desperate move by a dying company and SCO's frequent press
releases, interviews and comments are part of their little "poker
game."  Sure, Microsoft did help SCO out by buying a Unix licence from
them and there is the argument that SCO is currently serving
Microsoft's interests very well by their actions, but does that make
every SCO news release on-topic for Microsoft?
