"Darl McBride, chief executive of SCO Group, says he sometimes carries a gun because his enemies are out to kill him. He checks into hotels under assumed names. An armed bodyguard protected him at Harvard Law School when he gave a speech last month."

That's hillarious.

Microsoft put some money into SCO.

The lawsuits are pure FUD.

Gates is getting worried about Linux.

M$ has funded SCO to the tune of $80M+. It's got to be the shakiest case ever, here's hoping they get their asses handed to them in court (which they rightfully should).
