   Interesting that SCO was one of the licensees

   And that Microsoft is one of the only groups to pay for a SCO license.
   My Conspiracy theory - was there some under the table agreement to help make each other's licenses look legitimate?

   No Subject Given

   Problem is that the licenses are to expensive, and too restrictive to be used in any productive capacity.

   Judge concerned about Microsoft

   That the judge didn't have a clue from day one was obvious. Microsoft isn't going to give up trying to control the world. They have to be forced.
   
   I'm still of the opinion that a breakup into an OS and an application company would have been the right thing to do. It certainly wouldn't have hurt the stockholders, it would probably help competing OSes, and it would make the worst of their abuses much more difficult.

   The problem is that by the time MS does rule the world, it will be too late to do anything about it. Democracy will be dead because MS will control the voting machines (either directly or indirectly through the operating system) and make the vote come out in its favor.
