SCO comes to its end

First off do you slap the noses of an entire pride of lions? That is similar to SCO's blunder in trying to extort money from Linux users such as Autozone, Chrysler and IBM. If there was an award for idiocy McBride would win hands down. Well this is the end for SCO. In a legal maneuver that will put an end to the question of any claim SCO may have thought they held, Novell has filed suit and will most likely get the injunction they need to freeze SCO assets thereby pulling the plug on their impending litigation. I have to hand it to Novell, while I personally am unimpressed by their products they have found a way to finally remove the parasite from the forward movement of Linux. The onslaught against Microsoft has already begun and with MS playing dirty still by conspiring to force people to buy their license to get their programs to run along with Intel, AMD and others the time for desktop Linux migration has come. I have recently started using Fedora Core and it is a fairly easy environment to work in. I have never been a large fan of Red Hat because their are not as many distros built on it as Debian and its development is much slower but it is in its early stages just as good as Windows and is better in the respect of no viruses, spyware or adware. The biggest selling point is still the cost FREE. Hard to beat that and Microsoft never will.
