Hey Got a new windows 2003 server at work a few days back. My co-worker told me something quite interesting. While the guys from IBM were over and they were setting up the new server, my co-worker said they used Linux to load windows2003 onto the new server.
I wasnt there to witness this, but its quite interesting that linux was needed to load win2003. The irony that if SCO wins the legal battle against linux, M$ can be sued for using linux and M$ gave SCO money to use in the lawsuite.
Money not an issue? Where do you live and when are you not home? I'm not gonna rob you, I'm just gonna steal some stuff

Technically, MicroSuck didn't give money to SCO. They did however bought a Unix license from SCO and was the middle man between BayStar (one of the two banks that invests in SCO) and SCO. Now, BayStar wants their money back while another bank in Toronto just sold some of their shares to BayStar while converting others to command stocks so that they can sell them... It looks like those two banks are backing out of SCO scrap which means SCO will forever RIP (just go away and stop bugging Linux users)!!!
