Speechless!
SCO!, have you actually read about that case recently, or looked at SCO's share price, it's in the junk band now. No one gives any credence to SCO's claims and the judges are getting noticably more irratated with the SCO legal teams lack of evidence.

Regardless of whether or not the Linux kernal is used in the future, or not, the importance is that we have the Open Source movement, which means people have a choice as to what they run on their computers.

If something better with reasonable licensing comes along people will use it.

A more important article would be "Vista: Never gonna be a winner". Judging by some of the comments I've read on ZDNet about sticking with XP Vista could be the new "Windows ME".

Open source doesn't have to make a profit, Microsoft does.
