>>I supported the decision at the time, but I didn't imagine that the company's business could drop off so quickly. I also didn't imagine SCO would be so totally unable to make its case in the court of public opinion. What did David fail to take into account. Well probably SCO suing it's own customers, The fact that those customers have IT depts, that are skilled in *nix. Though going from Windows to Mac OS X is hard, switching between *nix's doesn't require a huge training budget.

Of course David Admits his errors. Something Rob Enderle never did. I guess David will have to be given more credit from now on.

Coursey is an ignorant flack. His opinions are formed by whoever signs his paycheck. At ZDNet he was Mr Windows Dood. Now he's, I dunno what, but a guy's got to make a living.

If you noticed I have to give him more credit that I do. He actually wrote an article that was published that wasn't biased toward anyone but instead used facts.

Even Enderle(or Endless Lies) never achieved that.

Coursey was idiotic at ZDNet and he still is even more at eWeek. Otherwise he wouldn't make such statements as this one.

"Not that SCO was ever a huge company in absolute terms, but it did once create what has since become popular: Unix running on Intel processors, only today we call it Linux."

SCO created Linux??? That is OUTRAGEOUS.

I wonder how much he received for this one?!!!
